AINow can now confirm that Carrie will indeed appear in the indie drama, "Soul Surfer." The film will also feature Dennis Quaid, Helen Hunt and AnnaSophia Robb.

The film is being directed by Sean McNamara and will be Carrie's big screen debut.

From the official press release, "Soul Surfer" is said to be an "inspirational film 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.
