Elijah Wood in this heartwarming comedy across New Zealand’s majestic landscapes. 11-year-old Mildred is wise beyond her years – an only child raised by a financially strapped solo Mum; she has escaped her humdrum suburban existence by immersing herself into literary adventures. Her long-dreamed quest is to capture proof that the mythological beast known as The Canterbury Panther exists. When an accident occurs leaving Mildred’s mum in hospital, her one-time fling Strawn Wise and once semi-famous American illusionist, flies down to New Zealand to look after a daughter he’s never met. The unlikely pair agree to go camping while Mum recuperates. Unbeknownst to the unlikely duo is what lies ahead; from treacherous encounters that will test their mettle, alongside a bitter divide between a hurt daughter angry at her long absent father. And through it all, a primal entity watches the duos every move, a deadly beast that may just be the solution to all their woes. Starring Elijah Wood (Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the King), Michael Smiley (Free Fire) and Nell Fisher (Evil Dead Rise), Bookworm is written by Toby Harvard (The Greasy Strangler) and directed by Ant Timpson (Come to Daddy).

Bookworm will be available on Digital Platforms 11th November in the UK and Ireland.
