AnnaSophia Robb took the red carpet for the premiere of her latest film, Soul Surfer, at the ArcLight Cinerama Dome in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.

Robb chose a purple dress with black lace overlay by D & G and swept her hair back and posed with the real-life inspiration of the story, Bethany Hamilton.

Hamilton lost her left arm to a vicious shark attack while surfing but the then teenager kept pursuing her dream to surf again.

More photos of AnnaSophia and Bethenny from the premiere are below. Read more »

AnnaSophia Robb’s upcoming film Soul Surfer, has just had a new photo released of her and her onscreen parents, Dennis Quaid and Helen Hunt. The actress is portraying teen surfer Bethany Hamilton, who lost her arm from a vicious shark attack but still forges ahead competing and winning in the sport she loves, surfing.

This film seems like it was shot a long time ago (although it was only this past winter.) Shot on location in Hawaii (see more photos here) the movie is getting released in time for spring break: April 15, 2011.

USA Today has the charming Zac Efron sit down for their “Five questions” series. Efron talks about his new love of surfing, being at Graceland recently and how he’d wished he could’ve met Elvis Presley. Lots more from Efron above.

Aimee Teegarden signed on for a surfing flick, Beautiful Waves, this past summer and now AnnaSophia Robb is beginning production on her new film, Soul Surfer. Robb’s movie is based on the real life experiences of Bethany Hamilton who lost her arm after being attacked in the water by a shark and went on to become a pro surfer.

“She’s super cool. A great girl,” Hamilton said of Robb. “We’ve met in Hawaii and hung out.” For post-attack scenes in which a one-armed stunt woman was needed, Hamilton stepped up. “They wanted a one-armed person doing it and that’s not easy to find,” Hamilton said.

Another surf movie is fine with me. I loved Robb (and Josh Hutcherson) in Bridge to Terabithia. and I can’t wait to see her in this.

A pairing made in Hollywood heaven if it actually happens – Miley Cyrus and Zac Efron are being talked about to be in the updated version of the classic beach film series ‘Gidget.’

Said flick is envisioned to be the first in a long-line of “Gidget” movies. The musical-comedy will feature popstress Cyrus in the titular role, that of a young girl who discovers surfing and love (in that order) during one transitive summer. Efron is, we suspect, being sought to play the love interest.

All this is speculative still and it seems unlikely that Efron would join this because he has turned away from musical movies (‘Footloose.‘) Brittany Snow, Efron’s co-star from ‘Hairspray’ is also part of the equation that execs would like to have happen.

Stunning actress Aimee Teegarden is set to star in Beautiful Waves a surfing coming of age film. Patricia Richardson from tv’s Home Improvement and City Slicker’s Helen Slater co-star with the Friday Night Lights break out star.

“Wave” centers on a teenager (Teegarden) who goes to live with her grandmother (Richardson) in Santa Cruz, Calif., one summer and discovers the sport of surfing — and a family secret as well. Stuart Cameron is producing; Teegarden will make her producing debut as associate producer.

Could be similar to Blue Crush a few years ago with Kate Bosworth but any girl-surfing flick is good in my book.
