Lord of the Rings star Elijah Wood has returned to New Zealand for a new adventure comedy designed for all ages.
Bookworm, premiering tonight, follows 11-year-old Mildred, played by Nell Fisher, and her estranged father Strawn Wise, played by Elijah, on their quest to find a mythological beast known as the Canterbury Panther.
Local director Ant Timpson wrote the character of Strawn with Elijah in mind, having previously worked together on the dark comedy Come to Daddy.
