The film depicts the fantasy legend as a young man.
The family and estate of J. R. Tolkien have come out against Tolkien, a new biopic that depicts the early life of the Lord of the Rings creator. In a public statement, as per The Guardian, they said they “do not endorse it or its content in any way.”
The drama, which will be released on May 10, stars Nicholas Hoult as the young author, showing him shaped by the trauma of World War I, and by his love for Edith Bratt (Lily Collins), the inspiration for several of the female characters of Middle-earth.
