Shields making movie return in Furry Vengeance

Model-turned-actress Brooke Shields is making a return to movie theatres - she's landed her first major film role in 10 years.

The Blue Lagoon star's acting career has been limited to TV roles in recent years, with appearances in Nip/Tuck, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Two And A Half Men, and the recently axed Lipstick Jungle.

But, fresh from her touching tribute to late pal Michael Jackson at his Los Angeles memorial on Tuesday (07Jul09), Shields has scored a part in comedy Furry Vengeance.

The movie, in which she'll play Brendan Fraser's wife, follows a real estate developer and his troubles with a family of raccoons, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Shields' last mainstream movie role was in 1999's Black and White.
