AnnaSophia Robb was in Guatemala between June 21st, 2010 and June 29th, 2010—working with K-Life Denver, a Christian ministry based in Denver, Colorado; on a missionary trip.

Bryan Ratanasin has a blog about the trip, in which he does not specifically mention AnnaSophia. The blog has ten YouTube videos embedded, which can also be viewed from the Denver K-Life YouTube channel. All the videos have a total combined length of fifty-five minutes and eight seconds.

In the videos, AnnaSophia is shown sitting in a restaurant, making tortillas, dancing in her restaurant chair, walking on the street, singing God of This City, standing in a field, handling crafts with children, holding a wheel barrel, saying “hola“, using a pink camera, sitting with a child, smiling with a child, standing at a food stand, eating sitting on the ground, walking with children, at a food stand, holding children, reading, holding a guitar case, standing in the background, holding children’s hands wearing a Barrack Obama shirt, standing in the background smiling, making faces at the camera, moving a purse wearing an AHS shirt, holding a child in her arms, posing on a boat, posing in a group picture on a boat, talking in a hotel, dancing with Austin to When a Man Loves a Woman, dancing and clapping, waving at the camera, waving at the camera, wearing a zip-line harness, riding a zip-line, holding onto a zip-line, in the background, posing with a child, with her arms out, holding children, posing with five other people and holding three children.

Actually, I will be co-writing four books. Writing them is definitely going to be blossom into something more because I’m co-writing with Ellen Weiss. It’s going to be a challenge because I’ve never written a book before, let alone four! So that’s gonna be over the course of the next two years, I think, and then we’re hoping to turn them into movies.

The books are about a group of kids and there’s going to be a natural disaster. It’ll be about them helping out in their society and we’re also going to be bringing up some of the issues that are going on in our world right now, in the US, and all over.

A printed biographical book about AnnaSophia Robb by Tamra Orr is, according to Amazon.com, scheduled to be released August 15, 2010. The book is in the “Robbie Reader” series of Mitchel Lane Publishers books, which also includes other biographies on actors within age proximity of AnnaSophia, such as Abigail Breslin, Dakota Fanning and Miranda Cosgrove. According to Amazon.com, the book is to have thirty-two pages.

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.

AnnaSophia Robb’s Sleepwalking co-star Dennis Hopper, who played her character’s grandfather in the movie, has died at age seventy-four. AnnaSophia Robb has said of him, “Dennis is the best”, and “I just loved working with him. I learned a lot and it was an honor.”

The following is a collection of quotes attributed to AnnaSophia Robb and about Dennis Hopper. Each paragraph is from a different source:

When I first met Dennis, well first of all, he gave Charlize a big hug. Then I was like, oh, well, he’s all good. (laughs) He has such a presence and he is such a kind man. He has so much to offer as an actor. We had a read through and I just saw this man as a mean, nasty old man who had been abused before and that’s why he acted like this. I found so much more to that, just talking about why he did this thing this way and thinking about where his wife had gone – all these different questions brought up that I had never thought about. I was just so in awe of him. How he was excited about the work he was doing and really thinking about his character. It wasn’t like he was just coming on to be on the shoot for eight minutes. He was really investing in the character.

Okay, well that makes sense now. After every take, no matter if it was a really dark one or it was tense but not extremely emotional, he would always say: “That was a good take,” or “Are you all right?”

He had a glove and he’d take it off and he’d just use the fabric.

Dennis is the best. I mean, he’s just completely different from in the moment, in the scene and then once we cut. He always made sure I was okay, you know, he’d always say that was a good take. When he hits me and I fall down, he’d pick me right back up. Very supportive. [He] taught me lots of little tricks of the trade. I just loved working with him. I learned a lot and it was an honor.

Actually, the darker it went, the more I loved it because I knew that Charlize would be there to help me come back out of it, as would Dennis and Nick, and everybody there.

In “Sleepwalking,” we did a table read with Nick Stahl, Dennis Hopper, and Charlize Theron, as well as director, Bill Maher. And we were all in the room, reading a scene, and I just went, ‘WOW! I am with Dennis Hopper!’ And it was his 108th film and it was my 8th and I kept thinking: ‘There are so many things I can learn from him!

He plays the meanest man in town. But offscreen, he was kind and taught me cool little tricks, such as how to fall down and not get hurt. But he had trouble getting into Canada, where we shot, because of previous [drug] problems.

Soul Surfer is in the final stages of editing
