Selena Gomez is replac­ing Miley Cyrus as the voice of Dracula’s teenage daugh­ter Mavis in Hotel Tran­syl­va­nia, the rep­re­sen­ta­tive for star Adam San­dler confirmed. Both Gomez and Cyrus are for­mer Dis­ney stars.

Sony Pic­tures Ani­ma­tion, the pro­duc­tion stu­dio, would not com­ment on why Cyrus was leav­ing the film. Her rep­re­sen­ta­tive did not imme­di­ately return a request for com­ment. An model of the Mavis char­ac­ter is avail­able on our Hotel Tran­syl­va­nia pic­ture page.

It was revealed last Novem­ber that Cyrus had joined the voice cast. In Hotel Tran­syl­va­nia, Drac­ula (voiced by San­dler) oper­ates a five-stake resort where mon­sters and their fam­i­lies can live it up, free from med­dling from the human world. Over­pro­tec­tive of his daugh­ter, Drac­ula fab­ri­cates tales of elab­o­rate dan­gers to dis­suade her adven­tur­ous spirit.

Also star­ring are Sat­ur­day Night Live’s Andy Sam­berg, Cee Lo Green (as Mur­ray the Mummy) and Kevin James (as Franken­stein). The movie is sched­uled for release Sep­tem­ber 21. Other cast mem­bers include Fran Drescher (The Bride of Franken­stein), David Spade (The Invis­i­ble Man), David Koech­ner (Qua­si­modo), and Steve Buscemi and Molly Shan­non as a pair of werewolves.
