Elijah Wood is currently hard at work in Barcelona playing the lead in Eugenio Mira's Grand Piano. A thriller about a piano. Elijah Wood stars opposite John Cusack in the thriller from the director of Agnosia.
Forced into early retirement because of crippling stage fright, Wood is a piano virtuoso who returns to the stage where the recital turns deadly and he is forced to literally play for his life in the tense and twisted psychological thriller. The film is being described as Speed at a piano as it sees Elijah Wood as a once-great concert pianist who suffers from stage fright and comes back to perform after a five-year hiatus. Just as the pianist sits down at his instrument to play the first bar of music, he notices a threatening note on his music sheet that informs him that he must play the best concert of his life in order to save the life of himself and his wife.
