New Movie -"Soul Surfer" has A-list Cast!

Breaking news: for Christian moviegoers wanting to see more good faith stories come out of Hollywood, get ready to fill seats. Sony Pictures Entertainment Company and Affirm Films announce the start of filming on “Soul Surfer” – Bethany Hamilton’s story of loss, courage, and faith in God. The A-list cast includes Dennis Quaid, Helen Hunt, Carrie Underwood, and AnnaSophia Robb.

Bethany Hamilton is the world-class teen surfer who, at age 13, lost her left arm in a shark attack. If you know her story—and what schoolchild in America doesn’t?—you also know of her family’s faith in God. The stories are inseparable. And you know that within three weeks, Bethany was back on her surfboard.

Bethany’s story exemplifies personal faith, family unity, the guiding influence of a Christian youth-group leader . . . and the trust of a 13-year-old girl who, weeks before the accident, began praying that God would make clear her purpose in life.
