Elijah Wood is currently a very busy man, not content with reprising his role as Frodo Baggins in at least one of the upcoming Hobbit movies in addition to his work on hit sitcom Wilfred, he is set to star in The Late Bloomer.
The Late Bloomer which is dubbed as an indie comedy sees the star in the title role. The project is currently being written by Paul Kaplan and Mark Torgove the latest draft of the script drafted originated from Mark Nussbaum which in turn was an adaptation of Ken Baker’s 2001 book Man Made: A Memoir Of My Body (still with me?)
The plot follows a true tale of an almost 30 year-old man whose body goes through a very sudden amount of changes. (Which yes you’ve guessed it turns out that puberty hence the title) It seems it has been delayed by several years and now he’s facing everything within the space of a weeks, an alarming thought no?
In a statement by a studio executive Einhom: "The Late Bloomer is the type of wonderful heartfelt comedy that I like to engage in,” he goes on to say: “Puberty can be difficult at best and has the potential to be extremely comedic in normal circumstances.”
Wood has much on his plate for the next while He’s the lead in a remake of psycho style-thriller Maniac and is also in the middle of shooting another picture Grand Piano, starring alongside alongside John Cusack.
