FoxSearchlight has released the first trailer for Tolkien starring Nicholas Hoult as the legendary fantasy author and creator of the Middle-Earth books, J.R.R. Tolkien.
Watch the trailer above.
Tolkien will follow the author's early life and "the formative years of the orphaned author as he finds friendship, love and artistic inspiration among a fellow group of 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."
As you can see in the trailer above, the teaser gives us a glimpse of how Tolkien's life inspired his famous works such as The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
The film also stars Lilly Collins as Edith, Tolkien's wife, as well as Anthony Boyle, Colm Meaney, Patrick Gibson, Craig Roberts, Tom Glynn-Carney, Laura Donnelly, Pam Ferris, Derek Jacobi, and Genevieve O'Reilly.
Directed by Dome Karukoski from a script by David Gleeson and Stephen Beresford, Tolkien is set to release in theaters on May 1.
