MUMBAI: After a 10-year hiatus from mainstream films, Brooke Shields is returning to the big screen. She is going to star in a live-action family comedy Furry Vengeance.
Dick Van Dyke, Ken Jeong and Samantha Bee are the others who have been signed for the film.
Brendan Fraser is playing the lead in Roger Kumble‘s film, which centers on a real estate developer who gets more than he bargained for from a band of raccoons when he pushes too hard into more pristine territory. Shields will play Tami Sanders, the wife of Fraser‘s character.
Shields returns to a mainstream big-screen role — she did have some turns in animated and DVD fare — for the first time since 1999, when she starred in James Toback‘s hip-hop drama Black and White.
The actress, who is known for her roles in The Blue Lagoon and Endless Love earlier in her career, has been concentrating on TV and Broadway.
She also has been in the news this week for her intimate eulogy of Michael Jackson.
