Interview with So Undercover writer and producer

Seven years ago, as he was writing the just-wrapped New Orleans-shot action-comedy "So Undercover" -- looong before Miley Cyrus was ever attached to star in it -- Steven Pearl flashed back to his college days at Tulane University.

AP file photoMily Cyrus, shown here in a concert performance, recently finished shooting the action-comedy 'So Undercover' in New Orleans.

He was writing a scene set inside a college lecture hall, and -- although his movie wasn't   originally set in New Orleans -- his mind immediately conjured up a memory of Tulane's Richardson Memorial Hall, where Pearl had taken Psych 101 some 20 years earlier.
Flash forward seven years, and Pearl would find himself standing in that very classroom, with Cyrus, preparing to roll the cameras.
"(It was) the exact lecture hall that I had imagined when writing the script," Pearl said this week on the film's last day of shooting.
