Dennis Quaid, Carrie Underwood board 'Soul Surfer'

Dennis Quaid, Helen Hunt, AnnaSophia Robb and Carrie Underwood are set to star in Sean McNamara's indie drama "Soul Surfer," a film about surfing champion Bethany Hamilton and her shark attack.

Robb will play the central character, according to Variety. She plats Hamilton, who went on to win professional surfing championships after losing one arm in a shark attack when she was 13 years old.

Hunt and Quaid are on board to play her parents, while Underwood play a church youth leader (one that probably sings). McNamara, Deborah Schwartz, Douglas Schwartz and Michael Berk wrote the script.

"Surfer" is already shooting. McNamara also helmed "Raise Your Voice" and "Bratz." Quaid can now be seen in "Legion." Robb starred in "Race to Witch Mountain," and for Underwood, this will be her film debut.
