Audrina Patridge, one of
the subjects of the hit reality series "The Hills," has landed
her first film role. Patridge has joined the cast of "Into the
Blue 2," a sequel to the 2005 Jessica Alba-starring
action-adventure film.
The film revolves around Sebastion (Chris Carmack, of "The
O.C.") and Dani (Laura Vandervoort, "Smallville"), a married
couple hired as professional divers to search for Columbus'
hidden treasure. To their horror, they learn that their wealthy
employers have a much more terrifying agenda.
Patridge will play a no-nonsense beach beauty whose
boyfriend caters to her every demand.
Patridge is the first reality celebrity from "The Hills" to
get an acting role in a film. The show's Lauren Conrad appeared
as herself in the 2007 Regency comedy "Epic Movie."
The Los Angeles-set "The Hills," MTV's highest-rated
series, recently was picked up for a fourth season, which will
debut in August.
The first "Blue," which MGM made with Columbia in 2005,
took in a little more than $18 million at the U.S. boxoffice,
then made a killing on DVD on the strength of a bikini-clad
Alba and the ab-tastic Paul Walker.
