Brooke Shields joins 'Furry Vengeance' in Topsfield

In her first big-screen role after a 10 year hiatus, actress Brooke Shields has reportedly joined the cast of Brendan Fraser's "Furry Vengeance," a live-action movie about a real estate developer who faces an unlikely group of protesters: a crew of local woodland creatures who don't want their homes disturbed.

In the made-in-Topsfield comedy "Furry Vengeance," Shields is playing Tami Sanders, the wife of Fraser's character. It's her first movie role since the 1999 hip-hop drama "Black and White."

Dick Van Dyke, "The Hangover’s" Ken Jeong and Samantha Bee are all on board as co-stars.

Matt Prokop, an up-and-coming actor from "High School Musical 3: Senior Year," will play a city kid forced to move to rural Oregon with his father, whose efforts to build a housing development there are complicated by the feisty local wildlife. Newcomer Skyler Samuels has joined the cast as Amber, Prokop's romantic interest.

Filming is slotted this weekend at the Beverly Municipal Airport located at 46 L.P. Henderson Rd.
