This Disney-distributed biopic of Mr. Lord of the Rings sets out in part to do the Goodbye Christopher Robin thing by exploring the influence of WWI on his social circle and later work.

Nicholas Hoult is cast as the young J.R.R. Tolkien, with Lily Collins as the future Mrs. Tolkien. Finnish director Dome Karukoski also incorporates fantasy scenes from those famous novels and touches upon the author’s lifelong Catholicism.
