FOX Searchlight released a new trailer today on the upcoming bio-pic entitled “Tolkien,” that takes a unique look at the life of the popular Catholic author. The official synopsis describes what the movie will include:
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.
