Natasha Henstridge and CJ Adams (The Odd Life of Timothy Green) have been added to the cast of Against the Wild, a family-oriented action film shooting in Ontario. Directed, written, produced and edited by Richard Boddington, Against the Wild is expecting to wrap up filming in November.

“We’re privileged to have cast CJ following his terrific performance in Timothy Green, and Natasha always brings a remarkable presence to her roles. It’s been a great experience working with both of them to film an inspiring family movie against the natural beauty of Canada,” said Boddington.

Commenting on his casting, CJ Adams said, “It’s a really nice family movie, and I’ve always wanted a dog of my own. You should never take your family for granted.”

The Plot: In Against the Wild, Zach (CJ Adams) and Hannah Wade (Erin Pitt) are flying north to visit their father, the vice president of a mining operation. Accompanying Zach and Hannah on the journey is their Alaskan Malamute, Chinook. En route, the plane crashes in the wilderness. Zach and Hannah go off in search of help for the injured pilot.

Deep in the woods, Chinook proves himself to be a highly valuable companion as he defends the kids from wolves and a grizzly bear, and rescues Hannah after she falls into white water rapids. When a raging forest fire causes a search to be called off, the children’s parents take matters into their own hands to find them.
