Brooke Shields is set to return to big screen after a 10-year hiatus, having focused the majority of her efforts on the small screen and live audiences.

Shields, known for her roles in Lipstick Jungle and Broadway performances such as A Wonderful Town, is set to star in Summit and Participant Media's family comedy Furry Vengeance.

Dick Van Dyke, Samantha Bee and Ken Jeong will also appear in the film, with Brendan Fraser taking the lead role. Vengeance centers on a real estate developer who is challenged by a group of raccoons when he tries to move onto their territory.

Shield's last big-screen effort was James Toback's film Black and White, which grossed $5.24 million domestically. She was also in the Oscar-nominated films The Blue Lagoon and Endless Love.

Shields recently made the news for her eulogy at Michael Jackson's funeral.
