AnnaSophia Robb was born on the 8th December 1993 in Denver, Colorado, USA. She started off life with a dream to act, and began by performing on a church stage in her home town in front of 500 people when she was just 5 years old. She began taking various acting classes and courses at the age of 8, and was scouted at the age of 9 by an agency in Los Angeles. She drove down to LA with her mom, during the pilot season. 42 auditions later, AnnaSophia booked her first national commercial, advertising Bratz dolls.

CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY's AnnaSophia Robb costars

I won't pretend to get why Dwayne Johnson won't let us call him "The Rock" anymore, and why he makes such odd movie choices, but I just can't hate the guy.

This just looks so positive and cute, and if he really felt necessary to remake ESCAPE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN and call it RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN, then so be it.

The movie follows Johnson's character, a Las Vegas cab driver, as he teams up with an astrophysicist (Carla Gugino) to try to save two paranormal siblings (AnnaSophia Robb and Alexander Ludwig) from an evil man (Ciaran Hinds).
