Kevin Sorbo says he’s hearing Soul Surfer “might be an Easter movie” and that Sony “already has 3,000 screens committed”

Kevin Sorbo has been interviewed for TrekWeb.com, and talked about Soul Surfer, in which he acts alongside AnnaSophia Robb. In the interview, Kevin Sorbo talks about the release date and the spread of the theatrical distribution.

In the meantime, I have another movie coming out called Soul Surfer. I was hoping they were going to open it in November, but I don’t know; now I’m hearing it might be an Easter movie, just because Sony wants to make sure everything is perfect. They’re very excited about this; it has Dennis Quaid, Helen Hunt, Carrie Underwood and AnnaSophia Robb, and it’s based on the life of Bethany Hamilton, the teen sensation who, at 13, lost her arm to a tiger shark. It’s a wonderful script, and Sony already has 3,000 screens committed to it.

Soul Surfer is said to be distributed by Sony Pictures division Affirm Films.

Baptist press Soul Surfer article

Baptist Press published an article about Soul Surfer with quotations of Bethany Hamilton and AnnaSophia Robb. The following is an excerpt from said article:

16-year-old AnnaSophia (a native of Denver, Colo., who was taught to surf by Bethany), said in a recent interview: “Personality wise, we’re a little different. She’s definitely more ‘chill’ than I am — part of that whole surfer vibe. But we are similar in a lot of ways. We’re both very determined. We both have strong goals. Faith is a big part of our lives. And we both have fantastic families.”

When asked what she hopes people will take away from this movie experience, Ms. Robb told the Christian press, “I know this is the obvious answer, but I hope they’ll be inspired. It’s a story about faith and perseverance. And while Bethany is amazing, she’s still this everyday person. Hanging out with her, she’s just Bethany. I’m hoping people will realize they can do anything, too. Because she did it.”

The article also says that Soul Surfer is “slated for a Spring 2011 release”.

Mark Garbarino talks about Soul Surfer

Special make-up effects designer Mark Garbarino talked with Annasophia-Robb.us about the production of Soul Surfer, his involvement in the project and AnnaSophia Robb. When asked if he could share any stories from working with AnnaSophia, Garbarino said, “I designed a series of prosthetics to suggest the progress of Bethany Hamiliton’s arm loss and healing. I cast AnnaSophia’s shoulders in Oahu, in several different positions, with her left arm bending across her chest, and behind her back. From this gypsum plaster cast, I designed an attack prosthetic, a newly sutured, and a healed, muscular one.”

“For the majority of the filming, AnnaSophia wore a silicone prosthetic makeup, and a green sleeve or green paint, to later erase her lower arm from audience sight. The engine room will do the post removal effect”, said Garbarino. He also said that the most exciting scene was the shark attack filming, commenting on it, “Some of the Hamiliton family were watching, so it must have been troubling for them at times. All our attempts at realistically portraying Bethany’s injury were done with great thought, care and compassion.”

He commented on AnnaSophia’s performance, saying, “AnnaSophia performed perfectly, without self consciousness, as she maneuvered her left arm, back and forth during the flow of filming, to accommodate, and assist the Visual FX later in post production.”

Garbarino also mentioned how much he worked with AnnaSophia, saying, “The time spent daily in the prosthetic makeup chair was 45 to 60 minutes, with a 20 minute clean up at the end of the day.”

“I think it is safe to say, AnnaSophia and I parted as professional friends. I respect her greatly for all she is accomplishing,” said Mark Garbarino.
