Leslie Mann, Kate Bosworth, AnnaSophia Robb and Juno Temple have all signed on to the drama GOODNIGHT MOON.  Robb and Temple will play young teenage girls that get involved with skaters and street gangs when they move to Los Angeles.  Mann will play Temple’s mother and Bosworth will play Mann’s sister.  The film will be directed by Elgin James and is considered a semi-autobiographical story, although he had his adventures in Boston.

The cast is shaping up to be pretty great, so the question is going to be how well Elgin James writes and directs.  Not many people get so many talented actresses together for their first film, so the pressure is going to be on him to make them shine.  It also seems like the film will deal with some tough issues, so it will be interesting to see how much he pushes he envelope.

“The Honolulu Adviser” recently chatted with Bethany Hamilton regarding the film Soul Surfer (based on her life) and how AnnaSophia Robb plays her in the movie. Bethany says “I’m so grateful and thankful to have her a part of the movie!”
AnnaSophia herself admitted that the role was demanding. “There have been a lot of difficulties, just physically,” she revealed to the newspaper during a break in filming. “There are challenges.”
Surfing has become a potent distraction for the young actress. She even loves the way it beats up on her — from the bruises on her hips to the purple mark on her knee that won’t go away to the collisions with her board.
“I have a cut on my leg from the skeg and I love it,” she said. “I hope it scars.”
Bethany revealed that it was weird to have a movie made about her life. “I’m not that into being famous so I think I might get more famous after this. That’s been a challenge to deal with.”
But she admits that AnnaSophia is talented. “She works hard for the roles. I didn’t realize how much actors had to put into their job.“

The stars of Soul Surfer made use of the latest in special effects today, as they filmed on a Hawaii beach.
The biopic tells the story of surfer Bethany Hamilton, who lost her arm in a shark attack.
Rising Hollywood star Anna Sophia Robb wore a green sleeve on her arm, which will later be digitally removed for the movie.
Anna stars alongside Lorraine Nicholson, the 19-year-old daughter of actor Jack.
Lorraine plays best friend Alana Blanchard, who was with Hamilton on the day a 14ft tiger shark ripped the 13-year-old’s left arm off at her local beach in Kauai.
Sean Brosnan, actor Pierce Brosnan’s son, will play Bethany’s brother Noah.
Just three weeks after the incident, Hamilton returned to the water and went surfing again.
Now 19, Hamilton will step in to film some post-attack surfing and stunt scenes.
‘They wanted a one-armed person doing it and that’s not easy to find,’ says Hamilton, who competed in the Billabong world junior surfing championships in Sydney last month.
‘I’m excited about the role. But it will be intense seeing people playing my family and me.’

Celebrity Gossip

If you’re an actor looking for the Academy to pay attention to you, get yourself in a role that has a disability attached to an uplifting story and you’re in. That’s exactly what AnnaSophia Robb is doing here, stepping into the lead role for Soul Surfer, according to Variety.
The film chronicles the storied life of young surfer Bethany Hamilton, who at the age of 13 lost her arm to a shark attack, only to go on to win professional surfing championships with her lopsided upper body. Also starring is Dennis Quaid, coming off his critical smash Legion (/sarcasm), the always lovely Helen Hunt, and last but certainly not least, Hercules himself, Kevin Sorbo, because what’s he been doing lately? American Idol singer Carrie Underwood will appear as well.
Robb’s acting chops have yet to have been given a real test, but this could be her time to shine in a lead. Bridge to Terabithia was a solid movie that she helps carry, and she’s unforgettable as Violet Beauregarde in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, so this 16-year-old blonde may just be on the verge of breaking out of Dakota Fanning’s shadow. Soul Surfer is currently filming in Hawaii.

AnnaSophia Robb is set to take the lead in the upcoming Soul Surfer.
Based on the courageous events of Bethany Hamilton’s attack, the film will start production at the end of the month, according to Bethany and The Herald Sun.
Bethany says of meeting AnnaSophia, “She’s super cool. A great girl. We’ve met in Hawaii and hung out. They wanted a one-armed person doing it [the shark attack scenes] and that’s not easy to find.”
Bethany was surfing with a friend when she was 13 when a tiger shark ripped her arm off just below her shoulder. Three weeks later, Bethany was back on her board at her home break at Kauai, Hawaii. Now, she’s a pro-surfer who placed second at the Billabong tournament last year.
