The CW Casts Young Carrie Bradshaw: AnnaSophia Robb
The actress best known as Violet in the 2005 Tim Burton feature "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" will star in the young-skewing network's "Sex and the City" prequel "The Carrie Diaries" pilot.

Based on the novel by Candace Bushnell, Carrie Diaries revolves around a young Carrie Bradshaw as she comes of age in the 1980s, asking her first questions about love, sex, friendship and family while exploring the worlds of high school and Manhattan.
Fake Empire's Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage and Len Goldstein (Gossip Girl, Hart of Dixie) will executive produce alongside Warner Bros. Television. Former Sex and the City scribe/co-producer Amy B. Harris will adapt the book and serve as showrunner. Miguel Arteta will direct the pilot.
The first book in Bushnell’s origin story was published last year and, like Sex and the City, is told from Carrie’s point of view. It follows the aspiring writer through her relationship with Sebastian Kydd and rivalry with popular girl Donna LaDonna.
HBO owns the rights to Sex and the City, with corporate cousin the CW hearing the pitch in September and immediately committing to the project. Robb's reps can only hope that this project will have the same impact on her career as SATC — which ran from 1998-2004 on HBO and spurred a pair of feature films — did for Sarah Jessica Parker's.
The young actress joins the previously cast Stefania Owen (Running Wilde), who will play Carrie's 14-year-old sister in the project.
In addition to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Robb's credits include features Because of Winn-Dixie, Bridge to Terabithia as well as Jumper. The 18-year-old actress is repped by CAA, Untitled Entertainment and Schreck Rose.

Rising stars: Get to know AnnaSophia Robb – Part 1 of 3
ANNASOPHIA ROBB
The lovely AnnaSophia Robb is going to be a powerful force in Hollywood. From the age of three, she wanted to be an entertainer. At the age of five, AnnaSophia started out on a church stage singing in front of 500 people in her home state of Colorado. She dreamed big and found her calling in the entertainment industry. When most kids were simply watching afternoon television and playing sports, AnnaSophia was asking her mother how people get into movies and get on TV. Her mother told her that she needed an agent. By the age of eight she was taking acting classes, and by age nine she was finally scouted by an agency.
“I just love to perform. That’s all I can ever remember wanting to do,” AnnaSophia explains. “When I was about 8, I begged my mom for an agent because that’s how I heard actors got started. After taking an acting class, I was invited to come out to L.A. It just all kind of started from there.”In 2003, she set off on her first round of L.A. auditions during the pilot season. Her family lived in a guest house as he father worked and her mother drove her around to auditions in the daytime. More than 40 auditions later, AnnaSophia had finally gotten her first real gig in a commercial advertising Bratz dolls and Happy Meals for McDonalds.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited in my life. I mean, I get excited when I hear that I [got] a movie and it’s really going to happen–I’m always jumping up and down and ” screaming. But this McDonald’s commercial was just the biggest deal ever. We ate cold french fries and old Chicken McNuggets for a really long time. But I thought it was just the best job ever. I loved meeting all of the people and all of the food.” – AnnaSophia Robb on getting her first gig for McDonalds.Living a double life is not easy. Young actors and actresses can get caught up in the whole stereotypical Hollywood scene, and they could end up in weekly tabloids or be those child star wonders who only make it for a few years. They need to face complicated career choices and navigate through the pressures of celebrity culture. However, AnnaSophia Robb won’t let the fame go to her head. She’s still living in her hometown in Denver, Colorado and started attending a public school in the area after several years of homeschooling. When she started freshman year at the new school last fall, many of her classmates were oblivious to who she was until a trailer for her movie ran on national TV during the Super Bowl.
AnnaSophia Robb signing autographs at "Sleepwalking" premiere
“The Race to Witch Mountain ad came on during the Super Bowl and, of course, the whole school watched it. By Monday, everyone had seen it. They didn’t act any different. It wasn’t like, ‘You are in a movie!’ It was just kind of like, ‘You worked with Dwayne Johnson–that is so cool! He is so hot!’” – AnnaSophia Robb on being exposed at her high school.In addition to acting, her other interests include several forms of dancing such as jazz and hip-hop, gymnastics, swimming, skiing, kickboxing, reading, and running on her school’s cross country team. Here’s a quick rundown on some of her more popular mainstream movies.
Because of Winn-Dixie (2005)
AnnaSophia Robb as Opal with Winn-Dixie
The movie is about a lonely 10 year old girl who has just moved to the small town of Naomi, Florida. During the summer, she finds a dog wreaking havoc in a Winn-Dixie supermarket. She takes the dog in and discovers that Winn-Dixie becomes friends with everyone he meets and she meets new people along the way as well. Opal rekindles a relationship with her father and discovers that each person in her town had a sad and lonely past. The dog is the key to bringing everyone together. She realizes that almost everything good that happened to her over the summer was because of Winn-Dixie. Cue laughter. Roll on snare drum. Females say awwww.
AnnaSophia Robb with director Wayne Wang
“Wayne Wang, the director, really helped me become a more mature actress. When I first started filming, I was really over the top. He just helped bring me down and make me real. That was really wonderful, a really wonderful experience. Also, what I learned about filming is it takes forever. I mean, there are so many different angles and shots. I mean, it just takes forever.” – AnnaSophia Robb on what she learned filming her first movie.On the Ellen Degeneres show
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)
AnnaSophia Robb as Violet Beauregarde in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"

Some Violet Beauregarde scenes from the movie.
Bridge to Terabithia (2007)
AnnaSophia Robb and co-star Josh Hutcherson
This was the second movie I saw AnnaSophia Robb in and she impressed me. I hadn’t noticed her too much before this movie. She plays Leslie Burke, an eccentric and charming girl who moves in next door to Jesse Aarons played by Josh Hutcherson. This role was a natural fit for her. Bridge to Terabithia really resonated with me because of the parallels to my childhood; mostly my interest in art/drawing, my big imagination, and my love of doing things outdoors when I was a kid. I didn’t read the book as a kid so I didn’t know what the movie was really about. When I first saw the trailer to this, I thought oh it looks like another copycat movie to the whole Chronicles of Narnia craze.
I was definitely fooled, as this movie is much deeper and touches on several mature themes. I can see why they did that for the trailer though. It’s tough to draw audiences to a fantasy adventure movie like this without having some sort of action sequences. Many people didn’t read the book though and despite the surprises, many people ended up loving the movie for the story.
AnnaSophia Robb holding Prince Terrien
AnnaSophia had read “Bridge to Terabithia” before she auditioned for the film and was already a huge fan. “I remember I would stay up late reading the book and then wake up and start reading again in the morning,” she says. “It touched me in a way I hadn’t been touched by a book before. I really loved the characters and all the imagination. I think it reminds me that even though I have to grow up, I don’t ever have to stop pretending and imagining.”On March 30, 2008, Robb won her first career award when she was named “Leading Young Actress” at the Young Artist Awards for her role in Bridge To Terabithia. The film itself won a Young Ensemble Cast award.
AnnaSophia especially felt close to Leslie. “She’s one of those people who’s just always lit up, who has this glow about her, and no one can bring her down,” she says. “Leslie’s such a lively and energetic character, it was really fun for me to become her.”
DVD release interview with co-star Josh Hutcherson
The Reaping (2007)
AnnaSophia Robb with Hilary Swank in "The Reaping"
So strange and funny, I had to put this up
“Being able to do this film with Hilary Swank was, that’s a really big reason why I did it,” explained Robb. “And I just really enjoyed working with her and she gave me some good acting tips. Just acting, being able to do some intense scenes around her, was just really a great opportunity for me. I loved being able to work with her.” – AnnaSophia Robb on working with Hilary SwankNice interview with a movie critic
Race to Witch Mountain (2009)
AnnaSophia Robb, Dwayne Johnson, and Alexander Ludwig in "Race to Witch Mountain"
“I had a hard time not laughing all the time. We were cracking up on set. We had so much fun. Between Andy Fickman and Dwayne, who is such a character and so hilarious, and Alexander, who is like my favorite person in the whole world, we were having such a great time. It was really a happy set.” – AnnaSophia Robb on her experience filming Race to Witch Mountain

Rising stars: Get to know AnnaSophia Robb – Part 2 of 3
AnnaSophia Robb has starred in a few independent films that haven’t received much attention. I’m going to comment mostly on Have Dreams, Will Travel and Sleepwalking.
There are movie spoilers below.
Have Dreams, Will Travel (2007)
Have Dreams, Will Travel was originally called West Texas Children’s Story. It’s a bittersweet drama set in the 1960s starring Cayden Boyd and AnnaSophia Robb. Cayden plays Ben Reynolds who narrates the story and begins by explaining his situation; a neglecting bisexual mother, and an indifferent father obsessed with cleaning his boat in the desert. On a rainy night, there’s a car that crashes outside the family diner, and surprise surprise, the only survivor is Cassie Kensington played by AnnaSophia. They take her in until she can get better so that she may live with her grandmother. She decides to take matters into her own hands and tells Ben that there’s nothing here for her, and convinces Ben that there’s nothing here for him either. They decide to just randomly take off to her aunt and uncle’s house in Baltimore, and a long road trip takes up almost 80% of the movie. Along the way they sleep in a barn, get married at Cassie’s suggestion, are detained by the police, ride in a flower power hippie bus, and so on. Yes, two 12 year old kids get married.
AnnaSophia Robb on set with her dog Bella
This movie was a little deeper than I expected. After the credits rolled, I felt like I just watched something really bland but also really original at the same time.
Spy School (2008)
Her expression just about sums up the movie
Spy School was just borderline unwatchable because it was incredibly cheesy, the plot was lame, and the acting was terrible…but I guess that is what I should expect for a TV/DVD release movie. The only good part of the movie was probably all the scenes when AnnaSophia does a funny accent mimicking Taylor Momsen’s character Madison. If I could buy back the time I lost watching this movie, I probably would.
Sleepwalking (2008)
AnnaSophia Robb as Tara Reedy and Nick Stahl as James Reedy
Strangest scene in the whole movie
Jumper (2008)

AnnaSophia Robb plays Young Millie in "Jumper"
Dear Eleanor (2009)
AnnaSophia Robb plays Ellie Potter in "Dear Eleanor"
This movie is still in pre-production as of 6/10/2009.
IMDB Synopsis:
The story of two fourteen year old girls, Ellie and Max the Wax, who travel across America in 1962 during the chaos of the Cuban missile crisis in search of Eleanor Roosevelt and Ellie’s late mother. Their secret journey begins in their hometown of Manteca, California (The Pumpkin Capital of the World). Their final destination: New York City (The Big Apple). Along the way they’re robbed by a guy who looks like Warren Beatty and helped out by Max’s Aunt Daisy, a vaudevillian contortionist who can fold herself into a bag. When Ellie loses all hope of ever finding her mother, Aunt Daisy pushes her onward to discover just what is waiting for her at Eleanor Roosevelt’s house, and why this adventure will not be the end of her journey, but just the beginning.

AnnaSophia Robb interviews with TC Magazine
Read her essay on her life changing trip to India -> http://www.annasophiarobb.com/summer_vacation_india.pdf
“So why would a girl who already has so many things going want to take the time to help children halfway around the world? For AnnaSophia, the answer is simple — you never know what kind of difference you can make. [My family and I] sponsor a couple of children in India and you never know, if those children get a good education and grow up, they could become the prime minister of India. They could create a cure for cancer,” AnnaSophia said. “Who knows what the potential of our world is, but we all need to help each other.” – excerpt from AnnaSophia’s interview with TC Magazine
“All her hard work is paying off and everyone from producers and critics to fans and moviegoers are starting to take notice. AnnaSophia has been nominated for several awards and won the Young Artist Award for Best Leading Actress in 2008. But while it may be her big smile that captivates people on the silver screen, it’s AnnaSophia’s big heart that really stands out.” – TC MagazineAnnaSophia Robb has accomplished quite a bit at such a young age, but there’s much more on the horizon for this young actress. Most of her movies usually have a decent depth and a memorable character, and I hope she continues starring in such films. As long as she stays grounded, avoids the stereotypical Hollywood life, and picks the right films, we might see an Academy award winning actress one day.
