Nicholas Hoult plays the role of the author J.R.R. of Lord of the rings Tolkien in biopic

A change is coming. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I feel it in the air. After a few years of dormancy, Hollywood renews its interest in the the Lord of the Rings. Amazon is preparing an extremely expensive show that takes place in Middle-earth, and because this stuff is happening in waves, Fox Searchlight and Chernin Entertainment are waging the idea of ​​a biographical film about rings author J.R.R. Tolkien and fixing it to a release date in May, by The Hollywood journalist.

The film, simply called Tolkien, explores the beginnings of the novelist "while he finds friendship and artistic inspiration among a group of outsiders". The author will be interpreted by Nicholas Hoult, whom you may remember as the most recent Beast. X Men movies or Nux in Mad Max: Fury Road. Meet your new J.R.R. Tolkien, a soft-spoken linguistics professor:

Lily Collins will play Edith Bratt, Tolkien's wife. The two men met when Tolkien was 16 years old and had an interesting court: Tolkien's tutor considered it a bad influence and forbade Tolkien to communicate with her until she was 21, an order that Tolkien obeyed. . When Tolkien finally proposed, Bratt was already engaged to someone else, but broke with Tolkien. The two were together for the rest of their lives, having four children. Their court was the inspiration for the history of Beren and Lúthien, about a man and a girl elves who fall in love. The names of Beren and Lúthien are even inscribed on the tombstone of the couple.

Gather this with Tolkien who served in the First World War, and there will probably be enough material here for a decent biopic.
