Elijah Wood is once again returning to New Zealand for filming, but not for Lord of the Rings. This time he is shooting “Bookworm” which is billed as a family adventure-comedy.
In “Bookworm”, 12-year-old Mildred’s life is turned upside down when her mother lands in the hospital. Things take a turn when her estranged, American magician father, Strawn Wise (played by Elijah Wood), comes to look after her.
Hoping to entertain the bookish tween, Strawn takes Mildred camping in the notoriously rugged New Zealand wilderness. There the pair embark on the ultimate test of family bonding – a quest to find the mythological beast known as the Canterbury Panther.
Considering that Mildred has read every book on camping, but never been into the wilds, and that Strawn is more at home on the Las Vegas strip than in the Southern Alps, the potential for mishap is significant.
Production for the feature film is set to being in February 2023.
