Hollywood will be coming to Topsfield in July for the filming of a new Brendan Fraser movie that will feature a cast of animals and possibly one of the town’s elementary schools. The film, called “Furry Vengeance,” will be shot primarily in Topsfield, a location manager said Tuesday night at a selectmen’s meeting.
Benjamin Dewey, on behalf of the Summit Entertainment production, visited the board during a regular meeting to discuss the project and how it will affect the town. Dewey assured the board that movie’s management is trying to minimize the impact on day-to-day life in Topsfield.
“We don’t want to be in a situation where we are negatively affecting the ongoing activities in town,” said Dewey.
Dewey said that film producers will be searching locally for 50 to 100 extras for a scene that may be shot at either Proctor or Steward School for an Arbor Day festival at the end of the movie.
The movie that producers call a “green comedy” focuses around a developer (Fraser) who plans to build a housing development in a pristine Oregon forest are thwarted by the animal inhabitants.
With help from animal inspector Joel Larson and an animal handling team, the project will be bringing in a host of animals who will be housed at the Topsfield Fair. Dewey said the fairgrounds will be the headquarters for all of the filming done in the area.
