Fox Searchlight has released the official teaser trailer for the new biography of J.R.R. Tolkien, the creator of the “Lord of the Rings.” The film stars Nicholas Hoult as the author and is called simply TOLKIEN and it arrives in theaters on May 10, 2019!

TOLKIEN explores the formative years of the orphaned author as he finds friendship, love and artistic inspiration among a group of fellow outcasts at school. This takes him into the outbreak of World War I, which threatens to tear the “fellowship” apart. All of these experiences would inspire Tolkien to write his famous Middle-Earth novels.
