LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - 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.
