Okay, so "Lipstick Jungle" didn't exactly turn into a television phenomenon, but that won't keep Brooke Shields off the small or big screen. And honestly, why would it?

Shields is set to join Brendan Fraser, Matt Prokop and Skyler Samuels in Roger Kumble's upcoming family film "Furry Vengeance," a comedy about a developer who's forced to battle local wildlife while building a new housing subdivision in the Oregon wilderness.

Shields will plays Fraser's wife. Dick Van Dyke, Ken Jeong and Samantha Bee are also joining the project.

Besides her appearance on "Jungle," Shields also recently starred in "The Midnight Meat Train." Other credits of hers include "That '70s Show" and "Suddenly Susan."
