Collider Interviews | Elijah Wood's Favorite Film Franchise, Oz Perkins' The Monkey, Bookworm & More @ColliderInterviews | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Together, director Ant Timpson and Elijah Wood captivated audiences of Fantastic Fest 2019 with the Deathgasm producer's directorial debut Come to Daddy. Now, the duo have reunited for something a little lighter, though Timpson assures Collider's Perri Nemiroff that Bookworm, starring Nell Fisher (Evil Dead Rise), is "definitely not your typical G-rated, family-friendly fare."
In the film, Timpson and screenwriter Toby Harvard (The Greasy Strangler) take audiences on a whimsical adventure with 11-year-old Mildred (Fisher) and her estranged father, the washed-up magician Strawn Wise (Wood). When Mildred's mother has an accident that leaves her in a coma, Mildred convinces Strawn to go on a camping trip in search of the mythical Canterbury Panther in southern New Zealand, where they find themselves not only fighting with each other but for survival.
At this year's Fantastic Fest, Nemiroff sat down to discuss Timpson and Wood's continued collaboration. They talked about what they learned from the production of Come to Daddy, the wisdom Wood's young co-star imparted to the veteran actor, their favorite franchises, and Oz Perkins' next horror movie, an adaptation of the Stephen King short story, The Monkey.
