LOS ANGELES--()--Against the Wild Films, Inc. announced today that actors Natasha Henstridge and CJ Adams have joined the cast of family actioner ‘AGAINST THE WILD,’ filming in Northern Ontario. Henstridge’s numerous credits include television parts in series such as ‘The Secret Circle,’ ‘CSI: Miami,’ ‘Time Jumper, ‘Eli Stone,’ ‘Commander in Chief’ and ‘She Spies.’ Her feature credits include films such as ‘The Ghost of Mars’ and ‘Species.’ CJ Adams recently starred in ‘The Odd Life of Timothy Green’ and ‘Dan in Real Life.’ ‘AGAINST THE WILD’ is an independent production directed, written, produced and edited by Richard Boddington. Boddington’s previous feature directing credits include ‘The Dogfather’ (2010) and ‘Dark Reprieve’ (2008).

“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.”

CJ Adams said about joining the cast, “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.”

Boddington said, “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.”

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.

Principal photography commenced September 24, 2012, and the production will wrap in early November. In addition to Henstridge, Adams and Pitt, the cast list includes Ted Whittall and John Tench. Stephen Whitehead is director of photography and Jennifer Carroll is responsible for production design.
