Elijah Wood as Strawn Wise and Nell Fisher as Mildred looking up at something in fear in Bookworm.
Elijah Wood's stint in a magical world may have ended after The Lord of the Rings, but that doesn't mean he's done with magic. Or New Zealand. In the actor's next movie, Bookworm, he plays an illusionist who tries to reconnect with his estranged daughter. In a Collider exclusive sneak peek, we discover that his attempt to win his daughter over will be a little... frustrating. The movie is set to premiere simultaneously in theaters and On Demand on October 18.
In Bookworm, Strawn is reunited with his daughter because her mom suffers an accident and becomes hospitalized. So, the washed-up Las Vegas illusionist has to go all the way to New Zealand to care for the kid. Aside from fumbling magic tricks with Mildred, Strawn also decides to go camping with the girl to hunt for the mythological Canterbury Panther. We can only imagine how the mismatched pair will navigate the wilderness, but we're excited to see it play out.
In an interview with RogerEbert.com, Timpson explained from what conversations Bookworm originated and revealed it has roots in his own personal experience with his family:
