Apparently Soul Surfer tells the inspiring story of Bethany Hamilton, “who lost her arm in a shark attack and courageously overcame all odds to become a champion again, through her sheer determination and unwavering faith.” That’s a hell of a true story. Good luck figuring it out from this first teaser trailer though! This preview looks more like the inspiring story of attractive kids hanging out at the beach and surfing and then hanging out with Helen Hunt and Dennis Quaid. So just how did this genius marketing team manage to cut a trailer for a film where the protagonist is missing an arm without actually ever showing the one-armed girl? Well, upon closer inspection, they didn’t quite manage it, but points for effort! I’ve provided screen shots after the jump in case you blinked.
