Ready to be inspired surf-girl style? FilmDistrict debuted a full trailer for Soul Surfer, the story of a surfer girl, played by 17-year-old actress AnnaSophia Robb, who loses her arm in a shark attack and must gain the courage to head back into the ocean after the traumatic experience. The trailer is from Entertainment Weekly and can be watched below. The cast includes: Dennis Quaid, Helen Hunt, Jeremy Sumpter, Kevin Sorbo, Craig T. Nelson and Carrie Underwood in her feature acting debut. This isn't really my cup 'o tea, but I'm impressed by the visual effects and Robb looks like she's giving a hell of a performance.

Watch the official trailer for Sean McNamara's Soul Surfer:

A young surfer girl summons the courage to go back into the ocean after losing her arm in a shark attack.

Soul Surfer is directed by Emmy nominated director Sean McNamara of numerous TV shows like "That's So Raven" and "Dance Revolution", as well as Bratz: The Movie and 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain. The screenplay was co-written by McNamara, Michael Berk ("Baywatch") and Deborah & Douglas Schwartz ("Baywatch", "Thunder in Paradise"). This is based on Bethany Hamilton's own autobiography. FilmDistrict and TriStar/Sony are bringing Soul Surfer to theaters starting April 8th this spring. Visit the official site.

Looks interesting. But at 2:12 in the trailer, the CGI-effects seems to be a bit off.

Underwood? why? not saying she was bad, but why? Hunt, Quaid, and Robb I'll see it for them, I think Robb has some talent.
