Carrie On for the Movies

Country star Carrie Underwood is making the transition onto the silver screen.

How Christina Aguilera of her, huh.

Underwood will play a church youth group leader in Soul Surfer, a drama based on the true story of teen surfing champion Bethany Hamilton, who lost an arm in a shark attack.

Race to Witch Mountain’s AnnaSophia Robb has been cast as Hamilton, while Dennis Quaid and Helen Hunt will play Hamilton’s parents.
