Debuting on her first film, country music star Carrie Underwood is joining the cast of "Soul Surfer" alongside Dennis Quaid, Helen Hunt and AnnaSophia Robb.

According to Variety, "biopic centers on the surf icon Bethany Hamilton (AnnaSophia Robb) who defied all odds to compete and win professional championships after losing her arm in a shark attack at age 13. Quaid and Hunt play Hamilton's parents, and Underwood has taken on the role of a church youth leader."
