Carrie Underwood is crossing over into the realm of acting and has signed up for “Soul Surfer”. The movie is a biopic of the inspirational story of Bethany Hamilton, who was attacked by a 14-foot tiger shark at the age of 13.

Underwood is starring alongside Helen Hunt, Kevin Sorbo, Dennis Quaid and AnnaSophia Robb, who has been tapped to play the lead role of Bethanny’s character.

Filming begins on the project this month, but not before Underwood sings the National Anthem at this Sunday’s Super Bowl.
