Bookworm

Film (Trailer) – 2024

PG
Parental Guidance

Following the 2019 black-comedy-thriller Come to Daddy, Director Ant Timpson and actor Elijah Wood reunite for another Kiwi made film about fatherhood  with a very different tone! Bookworm is a family-friendly-adventure-comedy, about the precocious young Mildred (Nell Fisher) taking her "Absent Father" Strawn Wise (Elijah Wood) on a wild hunt for the mythical Canterbury Panther. The movie was partly shot on the Canterbury Plains. The cast also features Irish actor Michael Smiley, whom Timpson worked with on his first film Come to Daddy — another parent meets child tale.

I'm top of my class: straight A's all the way! School is like heaven for me, academically and socially. I'm borderline obsessed, to tell the truth.
– Mildred (Nell Fisher) at the start of the trailer
