Fox Searchlight has debuted a couple of brand new clips from this week’s new release Tolkien, a film based around the formative years of ‘Lord of the Rings’ and ‘The Hobbit’ author J.R.R. Tolkien. Nicholas Hoult and Lily Collins lead the cast of the film.
Official synopsis: ‘TOLKIEN explores the formative years of the renowned author’s life as he finds friendship, courage and inspiration among a fellow group of writers and artists at school. Their brotherhood strengthens as they grow up and weather love and loss together, including Tolkien’s tumultuous courtship of his beloved Edith Bratt, until the outbreak of the First World War which threatens to tear their fellowship apart. All of these experiences would later inspire Tolkien to write his famous Middle-earth novels.’
