Soul Surfer: The Bethany Hamilton Story
Bethany Hamilton’s an inspirational figure, no doubt. In 2003, at the age of 13, the Hawaiian was attacked by a 14-foot tiger shark while surfing. She lost her left arm, 60% of her blood and underwent multiple surgeries. She was back in the water a month later and is now one of the best female surfers in the world. Stories like this don’t go unnoticed by the watchful eye of Hollywood. Stories of overcoming all odds to realise dreams, etc. are a box-office wet dream. So it’s no surprise that, come April 18th, Bethany Hamilton’s story will be told, Blue Crush-esque, on silver screen. Soul Surfer is based on Bethany’s book of the same title, and stars AnnaSophia Robb (as Bethany), Helen Hunt, Carrie Underwood and Dennis Quaid. And y’know what? We’re excited.
