The inspirational film is based on the autobiography of 19-year-old champion surfer Bethany Hamilton, who, for over six years, has defied all odds to compete and win professional championships after losing her arm in a shark attack at age thirteen. Underwood will play Sarah Hill, a church youth leader. Filming is to take place in February.
The film also stars Academy Award winner Helen Hunt as Bethany’s mother Cheri, Golden Globe nominee Dennis Quaid as Bethany’s father Tom, and Young Artist Award winner AnnaSophia Robb as Bethany Hamilton. The cast also includes Lorraine Nicholson (as Alana Blanchard) and Kevin Sorbo (as Holt Blanchard).
No word yet on will the film will actually hit theaters.

check this out swift fans go to the 11minute mark on this vid alot of people agree with this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Id0IrXl2u5M
Carrie is #1. Taylor Swifferhead, and her Swifferhead Fans, are a bunch of fools! Swifferhead sings exactly like she looks – like someone flipped her upside down and rubbed her head on the floor. Get it, Tina!
Taylor has a bad voice.
Carrie is pretty and has a good voice.
team carrie
Horray for Carrie. She is the best!
XOXO

Taylor Fans suck. Face it Swift sucks. Shes flatt and annoying.
Carrie is the real talent. Get use to her. She's going to be around for along time.
Carrie is Awesome. This will be fun to watch.
The thing about Carrie Underwood is she does not pretend to be someone she's not.
She's beautifull and has an amazing voice. She writes about real life problems and not the boys that dumped her. (hence taylor swift your ugly no wonder you got picked on in school.) Rock on Carrie
Yay for Carrie. I bet it's Taylor Swifts mom posting all the negitive comments on here.
Exactly Paul. I can’t understand her singing, I think noone can. It is so awful everytime she comes on I either change channel, hit the mute mute button, or put in a real country cd. I prefer listening to singers that are easy to understand and don’t scream the entire song.
I have nothing against Carrie personally, I think she’s a good person, but she’s just not as talented, her singing is not that great, her stage performances are the most boring. I would rather be watching an old home movie rather than being at any of those shows. The fans are just biased. Because EVERY singer has their strengths and weaknesses even some of my favorites, but that’s life.
CARRIE HAS GOD GIVEN TALENT AND THE VOICE OF AN ANGEL!
WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER TALENT IF YOU THINK CARRIE HAS NONE?
Your sign on is music critic? You must be tone deaf if you think that Carrie's singing is not that great. I am sure we won't see you at any of her shows so we won't look for you. You must be a Taylor tween whining again. Have some cheese with that whine.
she sucks. miley cyrus is much better.
Carrie Underwood is one of the best female artits in country music she is Amazing!!!!!!
kerrie dresses skanky and her voice is terrible. taylor swift has a better voice so haha!
Kerrie always dresses like the tramp she is in her videos. you can't even understand the words when she sings if you can call that singing
I've watched as Carrie has progressed from American Idol until now. My family & I think she is a fantastic singer as well as a good person. I am looking forward to keeping up with her career as she branches out with new endeavors. Not sure what all the commotion is about Taylor – can see where she would appeal to the kiddies.
Kerrie Underpants fans are so immature and vicious. The FBI should have informants join Kerrie fans just to make to make they plan some kind of terrorist attack. You gotta watch out for those people!
WORDS LIKE THAT CAN GET YOU ARRESTED! YOU BETTER BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY, BECAUSE I HAVE FAMILY THAT WORKS FOR THE FBI LITTLE ONE!!
Carrie is the best out there.
Carrie is a class act, not bashing any of the other artists, and I don't appreciate you bashing the artist that I like. You need to deal with Carrie's success as she is very deserving of it and has worked her butt off.
Well Said and I agree 100%!!!!!!!
Carrie is my favorite singer in country music.She's classy and has a voice of an angel.What a great role model.
CANT WAIT TO SEE THE MOVIE .CARRIE YOU ARE AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING.
Carrie SUCKS! Miley Cyrus is way much better!
YOU ARE A VERY RUDE AND IMMATURE PERSON!! HOW SAD!
WHOA! Kerrie Underpants fans are very vicious! I’M glad I’m not one. Taylor Swift is so much better.
tailer sucks. her songs all sound the same.and she can't act.she needs to stop or grow up and get real with her music to be with the country singers.
really? then i give you a hearing aid…
look who is talking about being vicious ts
fans are vicious another jealous idiot
Carrie underwood is amazing she is one of the best female country artists their is!!!! Its fine if you want to have your own opinion but DON'T be bashing everyone else including Carrie!!!! Carrie Underwood is Amazing and deserves everything she has worked for and more!!!!
And you are 12?
TAYLOR SWIFT TRYS TO SING NOTHING BUT KIDD SONGS SHE CANT SING COUNTRY CARRIE IS THE BEST
carrie is TOPS
kerrie basher and sam.. you all suck !!!!! taylor fans are deaf, terrible, rude, and obnoxious fans in country music… go to hell also!!!!! you're probably in a cult of deaf people worshiping that swift witch…
NEWS FLASH!! this article is about Carrie you dont like her leave. i can tell the taylor fans have finally got a hold of this article about carrie. lol by their bashing saying only carrie fans bash taylor. well guess waht taylor fans go to google and type in taylor swift and see what everyone else is saying. it's not just carrie fans.
your jeaoulsy makes me laugh.
GO TO HELL charlotte
YOU ARE RUDE AND VERY IMMATURE PERSON THAT NEEDS TO LEARN SOME MANNERS!!!
GO TO HELL charlotte
CMT- NEEDS TO BAN YOU FROM THE BOARD WITH A COMMENT LIKE THAT!
SOUNDS LIKE YOU NEED TO LEARN SOME MANNERS AND YOU ALSO NEED JESUS!! I WILL BE PRAYING FOR YOU!
Kerribasher and Sam,it is very clear neither one of you are fans of Carrie.But that is your choice and you are entitled to that.But a news flash:Carrie is as much country as anyone in country music today.Yes some of her songs have a flavor of pop,but so does millions of other songs from other country artist.And yes Carrie is also anawesome singer and can sing anything that she sets her mind to .She also can sing some of the most emotional songs that I have ever heard.I take it that neither one of you have heard her sing “How Great Thy Art” or her new song “Temporary Home”.Those 2 songs have so much feeling and emption in them that you will have to have a tissue handy.Sorry to bust your little bubble,but Carrie is an awesome singer and a great person and great entertainer and a wonderful person.You do not have to sling your hair,throw furniture on stage and use props to get your point across while you sing and to be concidered an entertainer.And BTW you need to learn to spell Carrie’s name the proper way.
I couldn't agree with you more. It doesn't matter if she is singing country, pop, or gospel. Whatever she sings it comes out beautifully. Anyone who doe snot see the all around beauty of carrie has to be jealous or stupid.
WELL SAID CHARLOTTE AND I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!!
carrie is a great singer and her looks are great too.
Yeah, I agree with Sam. I found that out a long time ago. Kerry fans are the most terrible, rude, and obnoxious fans in country music. They are always saying she’s better than all the others and that’s not true at all. Kerrie is not a true country singer, she’s a POP singer. She has purdy much destroyed country music. They only worship kerrie and when someone else better is always voted better by someone in the industry, they throw a tantrum. They are always saying the true country singers can’t sing, but I prefer listening a real country singer that has actual talent, and doesn’t scream at the top of their lungs while singing, she’s really a terrible singer. I was on music website one time and I wasn’t even talking about kerrie underpants and a rabid kerrie fan jumped on me for no reason at all, just because they assumed I was talking bad about her. That’s why a lot of country fans don’t really like kerrie, it’s because of the terrible fans that give her the bad name. kerrie fans are so immature, it is like a cult, they don’t like it when someone else gets the credit they deserve. And I can’t stand Kerrie because she’s a snob!
WOW I CAN TELL YOUR A TAYLOR FAN. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO SPELL.LMAO
Read your words very carefully and then look in the mirror when you accuse other people about being immature. Your highly immature use of demeaning labels i.e. "underpants" says it all. Do everyone a favor and just go away. I suspect you are a troll, someone who trolls websites and stories looking for something where you can push people's buttons. My advice to other posters. Don't reply to this troll because they are looking to stir the pot.
WOOOO back up!!! That isn't fair to say that all CARRIE fans are horrible people!!!! I NEVER bash any artists on their pages or even when they are brought up on Carrie's pages. But if someone is attacking Carrie I'm gonna have a problem with it!!! No one messes with my girl!!! BTW your case might be a little stronger if you actually spelled her name right! And if you think we are horrible people because we say stuff about other people take a look in the mirror and look at what you are doing! If you don't like Carrie than just stay away from her pages it's not that difficult!
This sounds like the perfect role for Carrie!!! She is a top notch entertainer that( to repeat a post above)–really lights up the screen!! Looking forward to it!!!
Michelle keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better but everyone’s seen it and knows it’s true, we can’t read anything about Taylor without the usual suspects Carrie fans bashing her in the comments, some of you keep changing names but it doesn’t hide who you are and your true colors.
Carrie fans calling people rude and negative is a joke and will never be taken seriously because they are the rudest fans in country music, bashing everyone they don’t like,it’s like a cult
^Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better, but everyone knows that's not true.
SAM- YOU ARE WRONG AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT!!
Telling it like it is Sam
This is the exact role for Carrie, she will be great in it as she she is the greatest singer and nicest person. CXan't wait to see, think it comes out in fall.
Paul, it seems there are a lot of people who have hearing problems and need to go get checked out by a trained professional! It seems like there are some people who can't judge good singers from bad singers. I don't know if you really mean what you said, but if you did, then you are just plain stupid! Carrie Underwood is a great singer, and a good person. Do you know what a good person looks like?
This movie sounds awesome. So glad i'll get to see Carrie on the big screen!!!
Kind of interested in who Paul considers a good singer because it seems like, in addition to her fans, most of her peers and those in the music industry consider Carrie U. to be one of the best. Are you sure it's not that you just don't like the type of songs she sings. She may not be as good as Barbra Streisand or Aretha Franklin in their primes, but I think most people would agree that she compares very well to the Beyonce's or Martina McBride's or Linda Ronstadt from the previous generation.
Wonderful news for Carrie and her fans. I for one look forward to the movie. I am familiar with the story having seen the girl Bethany, in numerous interviews– should be a GREAT flick! Love Carrie's new song/video for Temporary Home too.
I love her new video!
This is an amazing true life story, a role well suited for Carrie. I hope she sings in the movie, many Church Youth Ministers lead their kids in worship with singing, so its a huge possibility.
i am so excited for her she is the BEST of the BEST,SHE WILL DO AWESOME
This sounds like a really great movie! Can't wait to see it and see Carrie! Carrie has the most amazing voice…can't wait to see her in concert this year, too! Go, Carrie!!!!
I'll be looking forward to this. The timing seems right for Carrie to be giving it a try at acting, she has done very well at the choreography in her videos and was excellent co-hosting the CMA's the past two years. She really lites up the TV screen and that will carry on over to the silver screen too.
Yay!! Carrie is AMAZING!!!
Good maybe she will stop singing her voice makes my skin crawl
That is an awful thing to say about anyone. Your rudness is certainly un called for
You sound like a really miserable person!
This is what I don't understand if you don't like her then why bother reading about her! Your comments won't be missed!! She's an amazing person and your negativity isn't necessary!
Paul, you are rude! You sound like a very miserable person!
I don't under stand why you don't like Carrie. She is a wouderful girl. She sing great. I voted for her on A I. You must be a very negative person or you are jelous.
what is jelous(can't spell moron) are you a moron kerrie underpants hasn't earned anything the only award she wins are the ones you sheep vote for her. She's a bad role model for girls, she always dresses like a tramp in her videos and she's always hopping in bed with any guy the will get her in the news.
PAUL YOU ARE A MORON!!! EVERYTHING YOU JUST SAID IS ALL LIES!
You are the most miserable person and imo you need JESUS!! I will pray for you, because you sound so sad!
Carrie should definitely win Entertainer of the year next year at the CMA's with a Holiday Special, National Anthem, TV guest role, Movie, plus CNN performance, AND new album and big tour this year. She's doing it all! Taylor will win again at the ACM's this year..but it's Carrie's year next year!
ts should not win any more awards after
that off key performance on the grammy;s
she does not sing good carrie puts her to
shame
I agree that Taylor shouldn't win anymore – but I think that it is Keith Urban's turn to win ETOY! He is a singer, songwriter, and multiple instrument player – Carrie only sings, and occasionally writes. Don't get me wrong, Carrie has a beautiful voice and I love her new video "Temporary Home" –
I just think it is Keith's turn!
Congrats Carrie on your movie role!
Angie your wrong Carrie also plays Guitar and Piano very well if you check some of her tour picks you'll see her either with a Accoustic or Hollow Body electric Guitars and there are pics of her at the Piano as well.I think what she'd like to win is the CMA's EOTY to go with her ACM EOTY.But I'm sure as humble as Carrie is if she wins anything she's happy.I don't think she even desires the be the biggest and best or she'd already have done a lot of overseas stuff like TS to entertain.Outside of a promo to Singapore Carrie has only gone to Africa and Iraq for the troops and for charity.
Carrie is going to be Great in this and it's a role she's perfectly suited for as a youth church leader.We have seen her acting in her videos like her new one on the Top 20 countdown now "Temporary Home" you need to watch it's so good a real tear jerker.Congrads to Carrie and with Helen Hunt, Dennis Quaid,Kevin Sorbo(Hercules) All very good actors it will be a well played movie.
I AGREE WITHYOU 100%!!! I THINK SHE WILL AMAZING AND I ALSO LOVE THE SONG TEMPORARY HOME AND THE VIDEO IS AWESOME!!!
great!!! i am glad to hear this. she has a busy year. she is a wonderful person . look forward to seeing the movie when it comes out. way to go carrie!!!
