Absent from mainstream movies for a long 10 years, actress Brooke Shields is finally staging a comeback to the big-screen in a movie with a weird name: Furry Vengeance.

The live-action family comedy will focus on a real estate developer who gets more than he bargained for from a band of raccoons when he pushes too hard into pristine territory. Shields is set to play the developer’s wife.

Other members of the cast include Brendan Fraser, Dick Van Dyke, Ken Jeong and Samantha Bee.

Shields’ last mainstream big-screen role was in 1999’s Black and White. She did participate in animated and DVD films, but has mostly focused on TV and Broadway since that time. The actress is best known for her roles in The Blue Lagoon and Endless Love.

Having gotten tired of wizardly antics in Wizards of Waverly Place, Skyler Samuels has joined the cast of upcoming family comedy Furry Vengeance.

She joins Matt Prokop and Brendan Fraser, playing the romantic interest of the former who moves in with this father to rural Oregon. There they are forced to fight the local wildlife irked by their intrusion.

The film has been written by Michael Carnes and Josh Gilbert. Roger Kumble, the man behind the classic Cruel Intentions, is set to direct. Shooting is scheduled to begin next month.

Having pranced around in High School Musical 3, Matt Prokop has now joined the cast of family comedy Furry Vengeance where he will star opposite Brendan Fraser as a sarcastic city kid transferred to the country after his father moves them there to build a housing subdivision.

Interestingly, they will battle against local wildlife fed up with intrusions into their Oregon wilderness.

Michael Carnes and Josh Gilbert worked on the script. Roger Kumble is directing. They are set to start shooting next month for release next July.

Brendan Fraser is set to star in a live-action family comedy, Furry Vengeance, directed by Roger Kumble.

Fraser will play a real estate developer, whose new housing subdivision pushes far into a pristine part of the Oregon wilderness, pitting the developer against a band of angry critters according Variety’s article.

Production is set to start this summer when all the critters are out of hibernation.
