Lily Collins and Nicholas Hoult Talk Tolkien’s Influence in New Featurette

A brand new featurette for Fox Searchlight’s Tolkien has been released. The featurette focuses on the influence J.R.R. Tolkien had on Nicholas Hoult and Lily Collins.

“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.”

The film will hit theaters on May 10!
