The Two Gay Geeks just learned of the second trailer from Fox Searchlight Pictures for a biopic about J.R.R. Tolkien.
I am not real sure how we missed the first one being the big nerds we are about all things Lord of the Rings…
We have a very brief synopsis from Fox Searchlight Press Info and both trailers for you below. As we discover more we will report back to you.
Let us know if you are excited about this film in the comments below.
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.
