After having the privilege of working with Elijah Wood not once, but twice, I can confidently say that he is one of the finest costars an actor could ever ask for. In “Bookworm,” where I play the antagonist, I was continually impressed by his professionalism and generosity on set.
Is Elijah Wood (known for “The Lord of the Rings” and “Everything is Illuminated”) considered one of the finest co-stars an actor could hope for? Michael Smiley, who’s currently in Season 2 of “Bad Sisters,” believes so. In the New Zealand adventure film “Bookworm,” where he plays the antagonist alongside Elijah Wood, Smiley has recently expressed his admiration for Wood. They had previously worked together in the horror movie “Come to Daddy,” both films being directed by Ant Timpson.
Smiley admired Wood, who portrays a fallen magician and a father seeking reconciliation with his daughter Mildred (Nell Fisher) in the movie. When asked about Wood’s demeanor on set and his acting style, Smiley commented: “I wouldn’t presume to explain his method, as it’s his own. However, from my experience working with him, he’s incredibly generous. He doesn’t pretend to be anything other than who he is. He’s immensely talented, yet humble and supportive.
By consistently radiating kindness on the movie set, one creates a positive atmosphere, while negative emotions like frustration, anger, arrogance, and narcissism can negatively impact the cast and crew. Instead, spreading joy and embracing the fun of acting makes for an even more enjoyable day.
Unpacking the Quirkiness of the New Zealand-Set Adventure Film
As a cinema enthusiast, I’d rephrase it like this:
Elijah’s character possesses an engaging past; for instance, he was once a magician in Las Vegas who ventured to New Zealand to reconnect with a daughter he barely knows. Interestingly, this journey finds him in rural settings, underdressed and in awkward circumstances, which, let me tell you, provides quite a comical spectacle – something I’ve found myself experiencing on several occasions when I’ve been improperly dressed in unfamiliar locales.
This family-friendly comedy-adventure, featuring Morgana O’Reilly, Nikki Si’ulepa, and Vanessa Stacey, offers a heartwarming and visually stunning journey. Prepare to be captivated by a tale that explores courage and the strong ties of family.
