Elijah Wood, probably best known as LORD OF THE RINGS hobbit Frodo Baggins, has been cast as a 30 year-old man…who finds out he hasn’t yet finished puberty!
Based on Man Made: A Memoir Of My Body (the ‘true story’ novel written by E! News reporter Ken Baker), Wood will play a man about to turn 30, when it’s revealed that he never really finished puberty. The book actually chronicles Baker’s experience of being diagnosed with a brain tumour, so I’m guessing the tumour prevented him from ‘fully blooming’.
Either way, this sounds like a good indie project – especially as Randall Einhorn (director of numerous episodes of Wood’s current TV series WILFRED) is behind the film. It also helps that Elijah doesn’t seem to age…
