5 years later and many auditions, she was seen on the big screen by millions on viewers when she was introduced to movie audiences as 'Opal' in the feature film 'Because of Winn Dixie'. She also appeared on the small screen as 'Liza' in Nickelodeon's 'Drake and Josh.' Suddenly, this little girl from Colorado was on her way to the bigtime, playing the title character in 'Samantha: An American Girl Holiday' and the major production of 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' where she played Violet Beauregarde opposite Johnny Depp.
In 2006 AnnaSophia was busy filming a batch of films including 'Bridge to Terabithia' based on the much loved book. She recorded a song, "Keep Your Mind Wide Open", for the film's soundtrack, and appeared in a music video for the song that aired on the Disney Channel. In 2008 AnnaSophia got her first Critics Choice nomination for her role as Leslie Burke. Unfortunately she didn't win the award. To add to the list, in 2007 AnnaSophia blew critics away in 'The Reaping' opposite Oscar winning actress Hilary Swank, 'Have Dreams will Follow' which in 2007 was premiered at the Rome Film Festival, and 'Doubting Thomas' which after a long time in post-production found a 2008 DVD release.
From January 2008 it was all go for AnnaSophia who was seen as the younger version of Rachel Bilson's character in 'Jumper'. AnnaSophia next debuted 'Sleepwalking' with co-stars Charlize Theron and Nick Stahl at the Sundance Film Festival and won much praise for her performance.
So what's next for this bright young star?
In March of 2008 AnnaSophia set off to LA and Las Vegas to film 'Race to Witch Mountain' a remake of the 1980's classic. She had a fantastic time on set and for the first time since 'Samantha' could be seen with long hair. The film is looking for a March 2008 release.
