LOS ANGELES - 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. box office, then made a killing on DVD on the strength of a bikini-clad Alba and the ab-tastic Paul Walker.
