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.

“Well, all good stories deserve embellishment. You’ll have a tale or two to tell when you come back.”
- Gandalf
"Can you promise me that I will come back ?" - "No ... But if you do, you will not be the same"
@@Tony-ci7ys and the Tookish part of Bilbo impulsively won him over in the end, over-riding his Baggins instinct to stay home.
@@Tony-ci7ys and thus a Great Adventure was to be had.
Gave me goose bumps
"Can you promise that I will come back?" - Bilbo
"No. And if you do... you will not be the same." - Gandalf
The one choice that altered the course of the history of Middle Earth!!!!
I just hope they show how his Catholicism, his love of Norse and Germanic myths, his love of languages, his children, his wife and his experiences in the war were all important influences on his writings.
Sam Yes, yes, yes!!!
I agree with you Sam!
@knownonly His faith heavyly influenced his writings tho
knownonly you’re wrong
@knownonly have you even read his work?
It is so blatantly Christian you simply can't ignore that.
If you make a character depiction of a very religious person, it would depict him falsely if you didn't show that aspect.
(Imagine a biography about a saint a bishop or a priest and not bringing up that he was christian)
Tolkien thought that stories are very important and an integral part of culture, the Norse and Angle Saxon myths were story's to him, the Bible is THE story in his mind.
"After all, I believe legends and myths are largely made of truth."
- J.R.R. Tolkien
The film could have been the legend of his life, instead they filmed a myth. 🤷♀
@@violet-trash it was a very good beautiful film I thought
@@stefanieprejean6609 And very false too
*salutes and starts crying*
Michal Wasil I haven’t seen it. Does it not actually follow his life?
"Tell me a story, in any language you want"
one of most beautiful sentence an author could hear
I wish someone asked me for that :')
@@mpleandre tell me a story, in any language you want😳
@@adiadagale123 :0
That would require more direct messaging
@@mpleandre bruh
@@IamBean334 bruh. Now we know why no one asks me for it.
I'm literally begging you, movie, please be good.
Me too!
Don't worry... Dome Karukoski doesn't know how to make a bad movie...
@@joonasvuomajoki2636 He's directing this? Aww, I had my hopes up until now...
I'm praying for no modern politics in it. I just want a film that is accurate for it's time.
@@matronmalice9867 in Italy we have recurring debates about the political meaning of Tolkien or about the religious meaning of Tolkien. The situation is very complicated here, with different tolkienian associations with different point of view about politics\faith\intepretation in Tolkien.
“There may be a day when the faith of humanity fails...but it is not this day!”
👏👏👏👏👏
Except it’s already happened
I bid you stand and fight! Men of the West!!
Who said that?
@@ccunliffe Aragorn, son of Arathorn, King of Men of Middle Earth.
I didn't have much interest in a movie about Tolkien's life until I watched this trailer.
Well done, trailer.
After reading the biography, I already know this film won't have the most important bits/any accuracy lol. But it looks good and Nicholas Holt is awesome, so I'm seeing it anyways!
"The offer creates the demand"
Jean-Baptiste Say
You should try to find one of the books collecting his letters.
@@barbaro267
What do you mean by that?
Granted, we can see one seeming piece inaccuracy of at 1:07, but other than that, what makes you think they'll get it wrong?
The way I see it, this is one of the few trailers that doesn't give away key plot points from the start.
Have you considered that possibility?
Al Strider based on two trailers? Citation needed!
1:43 : "In a hole in the ground, there lived a Hobbit" ^^
And so begins the the story of a wonderful adventure
That shot makes me think of Beren, living as an outcast in Dorthonion.
OH MY!😍
Maxime THOMAS LE DEORE fun fact: he wrote that sentence on a student’s paper, when the student failed at starting their essay and turned in a blank piece of paper. This was because he was a teacher.
@@spottedtime I know, it was on the documentary of the lord of the rings special edition DVD ^^.
Thank God he survived WW1, if he had not, we would have never met the hobbit who lived in a hole in the ground...
Imagine how many possible future authors died in the World Wars.
@@Brian_Duke goddamn it, you’re right! Now I’m sad.
@@Brian_Duke :(
True, how many could have been able to shape existing genre before
Same for C.S. Lewis. He was injured in WWI.
"We should form a club. A brotherhood. And change the world through the power..........of ART"
oh my god
Akatsuki?
The TCBS was...amazing.
And they did. More than they could even dreamed they would have
are you mad because it was originally power of God for Tolkien but they are taking that HUGE aspect out of his life?
@@ForeverFashionGirl21 If you know anything about Tolkien you know about his "Subcreation" idea - to him, art and God were closely related.
Me: shows trailer to friends
Friends: wow. That was good
Me: that’s what I’m Tolkien about
Friends: stop
But seriously
Stop..
Lol
lol
hahah
1:44 "It simply isn't an adventure worth telling if it doesnt include any Dragons."
👏👏
He lost so many friends in WW1 and somehow took that insane experience, pain and passion and created one of the most amazing stories/fantasy worlds of our lifetime. I love LOTR but I really wish i could've met this man
"a fellowship"
*goosebumps*
Holy shit!! Same!!
I'm quite shocked that that line prompted me to tears.
Yeeeeesss🤗
“Out of the darkness of my life, so much frustrated, I put before you the one great thing to love on earth: the Blessed Sacrament … There you will find romance, glory, honour, fidelity, and the true way of all your loves upon earth.”
- J.R.R Tolkein
is it from letters?
@@natashazheltova1412 Yes. See his letter of 6-8 March 1941 to his son Michael. The quoted portion is from page 53.
@Al Strider tokein?
@ It was just called the Christian Church before the protestant reformation. Catholic simply means universal.
Darkness must pass,
A new day will come,
And when the sun shines,
It will shine out the clearer
-J.R.R Tolkien
You are a saint my brother, rest peacefully in heaven forever, you will never pass the hearts of many.
I’m rather sure that’s only in the movies
RIP

We Finns made a picture about it. Sorry if doesnt please you, happy if it does
You forgot to type in "Beren"
@Greg Pap wow
You got the name wrong. It's Jolkien Rolkien Rolkien Tolkien
So didn't he have a pet t rex
Sam: I know.
It's all wrong
By rights we shouldn't even be here.
But we are.
It's like in the great stories Mr. Frodo.
The ones that really mattered.
Full of darkness and danger they were,
and sometimes you didn't want to know the end.
Because how could the end be happy.
How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened.
But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow.
Even darkness must pass.
A new day will come.
And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.
Those were the stories that stayed with you.
That meant something.
Even if you were too small to understand why.
But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand.
I know now.
Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t.
Because they were holding on to something.
Frodo: What are we holding on to, Sam?
Sam: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.
But do you remember the Shire
Dang! Now I'm tearing up!
I almost cried stoph it
Funny, I just watched the movie with the exact scene. :D
Goosebumps
One of the greatest writing prodigies of all time. The depth of his imagination is beyond comprehension. He will live forever through the stories he gave us!
When you think that the greatest love story of Middle Earth, the one of Beren and Lúthien, was inspired by the love Tolkien had for his wife... This is so beautiful!
@Al Strider
And how do you gage that from a trailer?
Or was it stated elsewhere that they'd omit his faith?
I don't see how it's even possible to cover this period in his life without at least mentioning it, considering his legal guardian was a priest. Not to mention the drama around him and Edith.
@@michaelt.5672 they say it at the end of the movie based on whats on both of their headstones.
It was so great. I love the silmarillion
I hope this movie includes Tolkien's friendship with C.S. Lewis!
I hope it shows the inklings as a group together
It won't have them in it. The inklings didn't form until the early 1930's. This is about a different"fellowship" he was part of around the start of WWI.

"I can't carry it for you, BUT I CAN CARRY YOU!"

Do you think that one of his professors in the film will say, 'You shall not pass!'?
Or once they do, he'll add "...fly, you fools!"
lolllllll
Fox... If you muck up this story I will forever consider you the enemy. -A Concerned Hobbit
Concerned Hobbit, 'Concerning Hobbits,' I see what ya did there.
Well I sure hope they don't FOXs it up.😃
Doesn't Disney own this now?
😂😂
You misspelled *Disney*
My mother read the series to me while I was in the womb, I read it during my 6th grade year. Tolkien definately opened a new door to the fantasy world.
The world that is, the world that was, the world to come.
My daughter was born to the music from the film. They handed her to me while the music from Aragorn and Arwens scene on the bridge in Rivendell played and I read the Hobbit to my son while he was in the NICU.
But I saw this in theaters when I was heavily pregnant with him. It's a good memory
Nicholas Hoult is a good actor, and seems a genuinely decent fellow. I can't recall the last time, possibly more than 12 months ago, where I watched a trailer where two lead actors briefly welcome the audience at the start of the trailer and share their own gratitude to be involved with the film and their hope that the audience enjoys their work. Tolkien was a fascinating personage, and the film looks fantastic. Feeling very inspired to watch this at the cinema instead of waiting for it to come out on digital rental.
Imagine how many fellowships died in that war..
It's sad just to think about it. The young men who died could've come home and would've probably had children. Generations of future artists, scientists and other people died in one battle.
my heart oh no
No stop it.
They died on both sides.
@Lorveth They will not grow old
I just saw this movie yesterday; it's a gem and it completely flew under the radar. If you enjoyed movies like The Imitation Game, and The Theory Of Everything, you'll enjoy this. It has the same heartfelt storytelling plus Thomas Newman's score is a work of art. Also I looked into it and most of the story beats are true to life, if romanticized/adjusted for film. If what's holding you back is The Tolkien estate not approving it, remember that their opinion of the LOTR trilogy was also low, despite it being (in my humble opinion) one of the best pieces of film ever made.
The tolkien estate is mierenneuken
everything
I am buying and watching it based on this review
Once you read the books of The Lord of the Rings you'll realize why a number of people are a little on the fence or even against the movies. Jackson changed quite a bit around to fit the movie setting going even as far as to cut the death of Sauruman out and put it behind a paywall AKA the extended cut version. He omitted the sacking of the Shire and even left out the reincarnation of Sauron at the end. Last but not least, everyone's favorite pony Bill!
Also he made three books one movie each then took the hobbit and some how turned that into three movies... 🤔
But I agree, I loved the movies as I saw them first and they're some of my favorite movies along with Star Wars and what not.
@@NinjaSushi2basically if you read the books before the movies you won’t like the movies. If you watch the movies first you will love the movies. It’s always how it works. I hated the Harry Potter movies cos I read the books first but loved the LOTR movies as I hadn’t read the books
We look forward for this movie!
Sim!!!!
FOR ROHAN!!
Dear Tolkien Talk,
I have to voice my utter dispair and disappointment at the fact that your channel doesn't have english subtitles.
With a name like that, this is just cruel to all of us who don't speak portuguese.
@@michaelt.5672 This will be Fox Searchlight Pictures' first movie to be released by Disney.
“My friends .... you bow to no one”
Best part
Gets me every single time
That part always has me in tears, no matter how many times I watch the trilogy.
He lived through 2 world wars.. amazing
Nicholas hoult really likes playing authers, rebel in the rye and now this
2:07 Fingolfin vs Morgoth (Silmarillion)
Yes
More likely it is sauron and the ringwraiths. You can see the nine shapes clearly. Or maybe both.
I noticed what could be the two trees of valinor as well. This looks good and bad at the same time. Very conflicted
It s everything
Where is Angband then?
"-a fellowship"
Oh god I got chills hearing that, just eluding to Fellowship of The Ring. Cant wait to see this
Fake fan lol
@@mikeymike4626 yeayyy true fan lol
During the trailer, after 1:54, I half-jokingly said, "A Fellowship, if you will." And then Tolkien said it two seconds later, and I was like "YEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!" Lol.
1:21 they made England look like Lake Town, nice touch
i think it's the factories of Birmingham, looking like Mordor or Isengard
@@MagagState13 Hence, how he got a lot of his inspiration.
MiddlingFiber73 0 Middle earth is inspired by english landscapes. Lake town looks like England, not the other way round
I would imagine as Tolkien was from the countryside, he would have been familiar with the Lakes District in central northern England (the place where the likes samuel coleridge and william wordsworth lived and wrote; home of the English romantic movement in literature) which is the inspiration for Laketown. The shire is based on the area of his home town.
I want to see how Tolkien and Lewis met.
I believe Lewis is one of the four.
I don't see anyone billed as C. S. Lewis at all. I'm worried now.
CaptainNerd no, those seemed to be schoolboys. Lewis met Tolkien as fellow teachers.
@@PlayaSinNombre Would be epic to see how Tolkien and Lewis met though.. :(
Lau Vasquez we may very well see it. I just don’t think we saw it in the trailer.
What the fantasy genre needs today is someone to love it as much as Tolkien did.
As he gets older Nick Hoult is starting to remind me more and more of a younger Benedict cumberbatch. Looks great
Benedryl Bubblepatch.
I thought it was just me. :D
He's not that much younger
actually he looks like the older version of freddie highmore
Will this movie feature CS Lewis? As they were part of the Inklings and CS Lewis had a big influence on getting Tolkien to finish the LoTR novels.
Tyke Man I think you may be right, I’m all for this movie depicting the early life of Tolkien before meeting CS Lewis rather then the alternative which is completely omitting CS Lewis if the movie does go well into Tolkien’s mid life
Looking at the cast list, C.S. Lewis doesn't appear as a character as of now.
So it's not very likely.
But this doesn't have to be a bad thing. Adter all, this is a movie, not a TV series that can go into every aspect of a person's life.
So it's better if it picks a few elements that it chooses to focus on, rather than trying to cover everything.
And Tolkien's relationship with Edith and the Tea Club and Barrovian Society offer more than enough material.
Aw :( I suppose I understand the focus on Tolkien's earlier life, but I would love to see C.S. Lewis in it as well. Well, perhaps they can make an Inklings-centric sequel?
Lady Alfhildr of the Forest of Violet Mists - they are saving Lewis for Tolkien 2; the Two Authors.
@@lukeberghaus272 Ooh, I certainly hope so!
I loved how they had the explosion look like the balrog at 1:37 :)
I almost cried lol. I am so looking forward to the movie!!! And I've always loved Tolkien. He shares the same love for languages and stories that I have as well.
You should read Education of a Wandering Man, you would like it!
@@jdean5937 Tysm I'll definitely check that out.
My eyes actually did well up with tears, but I managed to wipe them off before any fell down my cheeks like the softie I am lol
Vera I just can’t get over the sheer brilliance of this mans imagination. I honestly think he had the greatest imaginative & creative mind the worlds ever seen and I’m not even a huge lord or the rings fan (I like them, no doubt) but this man is just brilliant 🤷🏾♂️ I’d love to have an imagination like Tolkien.
@@dshishod he's pretty much the reason and inspiration behind all the fantasy stories/games that exist today. Genius
I hope they don't downplay the impact of Tolkien's religious beliefs on his work.
They definitely will, but you should read Toward the Gleam. It's a fictional biography of Tolkien, that does right by the character of the man if not the facts of his life.
268 Mulla I hope they don’t downplay it on him as a person...it flowed into his works naturally because it was part of him.
@@seanscanlon5177 That sounds very interesting, I'll check it out. Tthanks
They will. Its hollywood.
In where? Like Donald J Trumpeteering being a jew out of boarders. Must be kidding me, my precious. Loosing a religion is a bad place, but all in all. Common sense is a good thing. Commonwealth? Comments, pls.
This man single handily made fantasy what it is today. Elves, Dwarfs, Orcs, Goblins, Trolls, Rangers, Hobbits, and Ents wouldn’t exist without him. Legend.
No he didn't.
Elves and Dwarfs are both from Germanic mythology. And he took a lot of stuff from the Norse legends as well.
Tolkien himself admitted that he wasn't fond of Celtic mythology and that the whole idea of his series was to create a fictional English mythology because England somewhat lacked one due to the Norman invasion. So he made one based on the other European mythos.
He was a great man, but apart from Orcs his creations weren't fully original, of course this doesn't include his brilliant world and languages, I'm talking about just the races.
Also Fantasy was existing and thriving way before him, although he did popularise it. Look into Robert E Howard, Poul Anderson, Mervin Peake, Lord Dunsany works, they deserve as much respect as Tolkien.
@@MFDOOOOM🧠🤏
@@MFDOOOOM No there weren't elves, there were elfs.
Nah, they would exist still without him, but it wouldn't be so famous worldwide and outside of England, Germany, Skandinavia and Poland.
@@TheBlackzafiro Elf = singular. Elves = plural.
Tolkien has shone like a light in the lives of many--a beacon that has shown us to look at the wonder of Creation in a new way. He introduced us to a magical world that reflects our own, and ever since we have known a world of wonder that has revealed to us the magic of love, light and hope. May this film reflect Tolkien's magic and life in a true way, and do justice to his legacy.
And may his memory live forever in our hearts.
I couldn't have said it better myself!!! :)
@@Thelaretus his works should be read by all Catholic men!
I’m sure many have the same story as I do - Tolkien’s world has helped me get through depression.
Thank you, @@lukeskywalkerthe2nd773! ;)
@@Thelaretus That's wonderful to hear, that great of an impression on your life; that's more than I can say for myself, although Tolkien's works and their adaptations have moved me greatly. It's wonderful to meet a fellow brother in Christ! :)

This trailer alone made me super emotional. Tolkien gave us these beautiful stories and helped shape the world of so many people it created a whole new era for fantasy. I grew up on lord of the rings so it holds a very special place in my heart and without those stories I honestly don’t know who I would be today, I’m definitely going to watch this movie when it comes out.
I'm am terrified by the fact that there is a possibility that it won't be released on the big screen in India. Fingers crossed, hoping it does. I am so Hyped for it!
Aatif Hashmi subscribe to pewdiepie
Yeah I feel the same
DUDE SAME! I mean I frickin love LotR and I don't think this'll release anywhere in south asia. Let alone Bangladesh. :'(
Yes! At that time the end game will be having majority screen number with some bollywood flicks and left over screens will be serve to local language movies, so there is no chance at all😢
Exactly
0:43 its The scene from The Fellowship of the ring when the hobbits hide from the Wraith
Ok, now this is epic
Didn't even notice that. Nice catch!!
Apparently that scene was never in the books, Peter Jackson added it to the film after he saw a painting of the hobbits hiding from the wraith in that ditch and loved it, if you compare the painting and the film scene they’re almost identical.
@chef Darth MGTOW the coaster fan from hogwarts and don't forget luthien
@ollie badrick I don’t know for sure that’s just what I heard
if ma boi C.S Lewis doesn't make a cameo I'm gonna be disapointed
I'm pretty sure he's in the trailer.
@@maaaaaaaaarcel where?
Their friendship was later on when they were teaching together? They might feature it I hope they do
It is a movie about Tolkien not C.S.Lewis. I actually get more spiritual inspiration from LOTR than Narnia. They could do another movie about the Inklings - they could even give it that title
@@stefanieprejean6609 but Lewis was a significant relationship to Tolkien. It's not about stealing Tolkien's thunder, but about portraying it correctly
I really almost cried. ..this looks wonderful...I wish I knew this amazing human being and author!!! A thank you will never be enough Mr Tolkien!!!
There's no 'Catholic side of things' as irreligious as I am, Tolkien was fervently religious, he wrote long essays justifying 'subcreation' or fairy tales as an expression of the imitation of God. Ignoring his religious faith is ignoring literally everything. Along with his philology, it's the foundation of his work, not the war and not romance.
Chazbot I agree! It’s a little saddening that there is no hint to his faith in this trailer, when his life and work was heavily and deeply inspired and shaped by it, hopefully they do not gloss over it
He was "fervently religious" later in life - not necessarily as a young man.
@@tumhalad1 When he was 18, he literally waited years before he could meet Edith again because of his Tutor Father Morgan
germanic mythology and the bible were his two great inspirations for creating Middle-earth. besides being a fervorous catholic, he was also very interested in the germanic and english myth and its literature (the poetic edda, beowulf and the arthurian legends)
i know that there are limitations on the adaptation process of any story to cinema, and also that biopics are rarely accurate. however, i really hope that they don't forget these two vital aspects of Tolkien's inspiration.
Chazbot Well the trailer neither showed how he was very much inspired by Norse mythology and other myths. I think it is a bit early saying they won't focus on his religious side since it was a big part of his life. I think it is more likely they will gloss over that he very much loved germanic myths and legends. After all they know that alot of people will be mad If they don't mention his catholic faith, but that it would probly be little to no backlash against ingnoring the germanic myths and legends he was inspired on. Now it may not be immpossible that they chose to gloss over his faith, but i very much doubt it.
a film about an AUTHOR!!! YESSSS!!!!! that is such an amazing concept/idea!! thank you!
Have you seen Finding Neverland ? if not I highly recommend it.
You should see "Colette" too. They stuck surprisingly close to the facts as Colette recorded them in "My Apprenticeships".
forestnerd maybe they’ll do one about j.k🙏🏼
They've done a lot films about authors already lol. Don't forget "Becoming Jane" which was about Jane Austen. And "Saving Mr Banks" about the author of Marry Poppins
This looks pretty good and I finally know how to pronounce Tolkien now, thanks to Lily Collins.
I'm so glad they're pronouncing it right
If only people would do the same for Rowling. Hopefully, she’ll get a movie of her own. I can see it now, a rags-to-riches storyline of a single mother living on welfare becoming a billionaire, as she imagines a little boy who is a wizard. I can also see her battling dementors in her own way, since she went through depression.
@@stephenking5852 Heck! If Tolkien is successful then get the same guy for J. K. Rowling's movie, It would be called Rowling, or Joanne, or anything.
But you do know there's already is a J. K. Rowling movie right! It's called Magic Beyond Words and it's a TV movie, it's not bad but it's not good, there are so many things left out and when they put references that only hardcore fans know, it can be confusing. But if Tolkien is successful then get the sam-- I already said that.
@@MrBl00 Uhmmm, you know films are not always gonna be agendas, right?
How did you used to pronounce it???
If this doesn't have Tolkien and C. S. Lewis dressing up as Polar Bears and showing up at a party that wasn't even fancy dress then I'm going to be dissapointed
By the looks of it, it won't get that far in Tolkien's life.
You'd need a TV series for that, not a movie.
@@michaelt.5672 yeah I guess... But it's annoying that they haven't even made an effort to show his dumb sense of humour and we probably won't get to see the amazing Christmas letters he wrote for his kids and stuff... I guess it's gonna be more of a drama than a realistic portrayal of his life
@@maeraich5423 Well, we see Tolkien as a kid, and Christopher Tolkien as a child is a character in the movie as well. So I wouldn't rule it out just yet. Also, a movie can do comedic moments in a dramatic setting (if they know what they're doing with it), but a trailer usually can't, it has to stick with one tone.
Let's just wait and see.
YES or tolkien dressing up as a viking and chasing the neighbours
And next they should do a movie about CS Lewis and his wif... You know what nevermind.
This is the author that shaped my childhood.
prolly be one of the reasons why I love to read.
I am pretty sure, that shining O is not unintentional.
I was reading about how Tolkien based Frodo's friends off of the group of literary friends he'd had, many of whom had died in WW1. This'll definitely be a tear-jerker, but I can't wait to see it!!
Seen this, it is moving.. From the young Tolkien to the war torn, you can get a sense of what he was about, and the camaraderie was beautiful, as precious as youth, as a 50year old man, i teared up..if you understand how magic is made, you will know what i mean.. Great acting all round
"My chief consolation is, that if I am scuppered tonight...there will still be left a member of the great TCBS to voice what I dreamed and what we all agreed upon. May God bless you, my dear John Ronald, and may you say the things I have tried to say long after I am not there to say them, if such be my lot."

I really hope they don’t play down his Catholicism, considering that was probably the most important aspect of his life.
Ya, they screwed up CS Lewis' biopic for similar reasons
I agree. At heart, Lotr is heavily influenced by his catholic faith, but I doubt hollywood will have the honesty to tell that side of the story.
Could not agree more.
If they do play it down, everyone should be prepared with 1 star on IMDb. Ok? I really think that sort of thing is important bc untrue films should be regarded as crap.
Joachim constat
This man changes my life. He opens another world for each one of us where we can go back there whenever we are sad and lonely.
This comment, the high praise from many people I love and respect, and the word of authors I can’t stop reading make me wish I could enjoy his works. I’ve tried. Unfortunately I just can’t seem to click with lord of the rings or the hobbit
Chills when he says "A fellowship"
His books inspired a lot of movies, stories, games and many more! People just dont know it because they are just focused on the movies.
His works inspired nearly a century of literature and story telling in one way or another. Easily one if the most impactful authors/storytellers ever.
Really he inspired a whole genre, no one looked at elves or dwarves the same way after his stories as they did before, and after the 60's every fantasy author wanted to be like him, and create worlds as fleshed out as his.
This man brought joy to SO many people all over the world, LOTR was and is the greatest Trilogy of all time.
Whilst many people are voicing their concerns regarding whether this movie will portray the influence Tolkien's Catholicism correctly, I have faith (no pun intended) that the filmmakers will do so. What we need to remember is that this is merely a trailer of the movie and that there are SO MANY different sources of inspiration that Tolkien drew upon. Looking forward to this so very much!
It would almost be impressive if they managed to sidestep his catholicism.
I mean, his guardian and father figure for the time depicted here was a catholic priest. And the core "problem" in starting a relationship with Edith was the fact that she was a protestant.
It's not inconcievable that they screw this up, but I think we have good reason to be optimistic at the moment.
When did this become a thing we worry about? In all the years I've read his books - from "Leaf by Niggle" all the way through "The Silmarillion" - his religious views never really mattered. Just because it's a fact doesn't mean it's worth working into the story (unless of course the storyteller has an ulterior motive). Come to think of it, that's probably why his religion doesn't ever come through his books (except for in "Leaf"); he didn't feel the need to take the religion he happened to be born into and wave it in people's faces.
@@MiaogisTeas
It's not relevant for the books (I think Tolkien's approach to finding meaning in stories was more along the lines of "death of the author", he didn't want to dictate how people intepreted his stories).
But this is a movie about his life. And in his life, his faith played a major part. Far more than just the fact that he was born into it.
And it did serve as inspiration for a lot of his writing (and it's really interesting to read them with that background in mind). So if you want to portray anything close to the real-life J.R.R. Tolkien, you have to include his faith, otherwise you're misrepresenting him.
Why? Why do you have faith in that? Most movies today are horrible. No soul. Lacking story. Plotholes. The family didnt even approve this movie. It will be trash like the rest
@@MiaogisTeas true. Facts don't matter when you make a movie about someone.... Smart

Edith:”Tell me a story, in any language”
Tolkien mind:”well..ummmm..better not screw this story and this Date up”
And starts talking in the black language of Mordor.
Mansour Mansour yea😜

Here's a story: "In out, in out, in out, in....." See - A Clockwork Orange.
I love it how at the end when he stands and sees Sauron in the fire kind of makes me think that all the gods from his novels and Silmarillion, even Sauron and Morgoth bow down to Tolkien saying: Father...
im pretty sure that scene is meant to be a tribute to Fingolfin's duel with Morgoth in the Silmarillion
holy shit, this will be good
ah, nice to see you here too!
It does not include anything about c s Lewis. Lewis played a massive role in tolkien's life and this movie does not have him. I looked up on imdb. Nobody is listed as playing Lewis.
the whole trailer im begging him "please say 'fellowship'" and then when he did i screamed "YES" aloud lol. i now have detention for disrupting class.

This happened
Why are you on your phone is class though. Fucking do your work
Tolkien: A fellowship
Me: I understood that reference
Are you drunk or something
Literally everyone did though
You seem more like a league or duo guy to me.
@@ericb8217 .i understood that reference.
400th like!
I’m so excited to see the story of John and Edith Tolkien, the original Beren and Lúthien 😭❤️ Tolkien has always been my favorite author and I’m so happy his story is being told
Wow.... the days when teenage boys were actually classy, imaginative and intelligent.
SergeTheBlerge n
These days there are teenage boys that are the same... the world always was full of idiots and there were always kind, intelligent and gentle people, too.
I don't like this romantic view on old times...
I wouldnt quite agree with that. I think there are just as many classy, intelligent,creative boys as there were back in those days. If anything,the boys today are way more accepting of people and things than what could be expected of someone their age.
I thought, because of other stories, it would be a club gone wrong, ending in murder at worst, instead they had a strong friendship... a fellowship 😮
@@avi.chan23 exactly! Again, its hollywood.
2:04 Goosebumps when he says the magic word!
I hope they show the real Tolkien. Because real is good.
Fuad Ashraf are you wanting to see his son Christopher, that has continued his works, or just photos of j.r.r. Himself? Because you know with biopics they normally show the real subjects during the credits. Just look at the blind side, professor marston and the wonder women, the imitation game, or any other movie based on real subjects
@@chrisquint3656 I think he is talking about the cranky old professor that didn't wan't his books turned into movies. Hahaha
Fuad Ashraf.... you do know Tolkien has been dead a long time right? Maybe pictures of him in the credits.
Caroline C.C., why would you call him cranky just because he didn’t want his books made into movies? That’s so silly. Tolkien had his reasons and maybe one of them being that Hollywood would mess with his work and not portray correctly. I totally get that. I’m not saying the movies aren’t great, because they are, but they left out some important stuff and changed big parts of the story completely. I personally prefer the books over the movies.
This is getting me so excited, Tolkien was such a genius writer and he's been a real inspiration for me to write.
Saw the movie today! IT WAS WONDERFUL!!!!! I laughed. I cried. I smiled. I cried again. Beautifully filmed and amazing acting! If you LOVE J.R.R. Tolkien and his works, then go! Nay! RUN! As fast as you can, and see this beautiful, heartbreaking, uplifting, amazing movie! Ignore those that click on the "thumbs down". They are Nazgul.
I'm literally crying...Tolkien the legend, greatest creation that ever set foot on this realm😭
They are many more such as Issac ASIMOV which i find even more fabulous and imaginative. Have you ever read the Foundation books? He has many books under his pen besides the I Robot collections. And than there is Straus, Stephen King and many more.
I know you don't seriously think works of Tolkien are inferior to Stephen King and Issac Asimov? Perhaps you prefer their stories, but their writing can't hold a torch to this Oxford professor who wrote parts of the dictionary and translated Beowulf.
These two beauties got me so curious about how amazing the film will be.
Did anybody else notice at the end of this trailer how they have focused on the letter 'o' of 'tolkien' suggesting lord of the rings saga! Amazing!
Yes !
WOW IT WAS SO SUBTLE I CAN'T BELIEVE I DIDN'T SEE THE FAN SERVICE FROM JUPITER
I do not need a masterpiece, but please do not be bad.
The live of this man is one of the most inspirational tales of the 20th century.
He does not deserve to have his story butcherd like they did with the hobbit.
Well, it's an entirely different studio, and this wasn't made as a blockbuster movie. So there's hope that they got this right.
And the trailer doesn't show that many inaccuracies, so I'd say there's reason to be optimistic.
I can't understand why everyone hates "the hobbit" it's also a masterpiece 😡 TBH I love hobbit more than lotr
@@feliciapattinson9591 Really?
You prefer the dwarves escaping goblintown to the bridge of Khazad-Dum? You prefer the dwarves pointlessly covering Smaug in gold to the battle of Helm's Deep?
And you prefer all the slapstick humor of the battle of the five armies to the battle on the Pelenor fields?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to tell you what you should like and not like.
But if you say you like the Hobbit better than Lord of the Rings, I'd like to hear why.
@@michaelt.5672 yaassss I prefer hobbit over lotr for quite few reasons lotr is too long and too dark whereas hobbit is more adventures and shorter than lotr.
@@feliciapattinson9591
Are you talking about the books or the movies?
I did an entire study on the life of Tolkien for a research paper in college. I cannot express the excitement I have for this movie. Please be good.
I’ve heard that tolkein’s experiences in war had an influence on lotr... especially in the sense of a bunch of small town kids going to the big world/war and experiencing not just death and evil, but also brotherhood and comraderie and to then come back to the small town who have no clue or care of what happened. Frodo and the other hobbits basically went thru that.
Tolkien went to my secondary school. We are pretty damn proud of him as well. He was best friends with the son of the head teacher (who died in the Somme).
Durin's Bane made a cameo @1:36 ;)
What if it's Gothmog? The lord of the Balrogs!
I think the bigger question is, how in the hell did you catch that???
Balrog of Morgoth...
@@DJBommersbach2 Managed to see it 1st time, used these 2 orbs in my skull called 'eyes', really useful things actually.
@@ercanilegroeg ahahaha
The way the letters circle around and form into ONE word, is just spectacular..
Whenever I see Nicolas Holt I think of “about a boy”- “love you Markus!! Love you!!”
One of my favorite films, and he has turned into a fine actor.
Beren and Luthien
Lúthien looks so beautiful!
I’m so happy myself and Professor Tolkien shared the same world, even if it was only for a year.
An absolute masterpiece. Superb photography ! The scenes with Nicholas Hoult and Derek Jacobi are pure gold!
The film is beautiful, the links that go from real life to the imaginary are impressive, very well interpreted and realized.
Tolkien is a literal god for me, I have dreams like his and I hope that I too, can possibly succeed in them.
RIP Tolkien, may you forever rest in peace and in the hearts and souls of those that you have inspired.
Go Inklings! I've loved J. R. R. Tolkien's works since the age of 11. They allowed me to escape into a world so much more scintillating, and livable, than my own. They are so beloved, and the nostalgia I feel at watching this trailer is unspeakable. The books are legendary and the movies are classics.
Those aren't the Inklings. It's the Tea Club and Barrovian Society.
Excellent film! Very well done .... reminds me of the way films used to be .... very classy, humble and stately ....
A gentle movie and tough to watch at times the way it depicted WWI ...
One can easily understand how the Great War affected Tolkien and helped him write The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings ....
A must watch!!!
And the setting looks like a real post-Victorian English setting as well.
This is one of those projects that either works brilliantly or explodes in your face.
It looks like they are leaving out his devout Catholicism, which is a shame as he a movement has already started to investigate his canonization into Sainthood. Still looks good though.
@Al Strider Perhaps. But on the bright side, maybe making the movie will get more non catholics interested in researching him and the Catholic faith. (:
WHAT???? :D OMG YES!!! They're petitioning to open a cause for sainthood?
If this happens I will die of happiness.
TheBritishBulldog You think about that a lot, don’t you?
Thomas Lashley If they do ignore or downplay it I’ll skip this film.
@@ksol1460tv Yup, about 2 years ago his home parish opened the petition for that. At the very least he is likely to get the title Blessed as he doesn't have any known miracles associated with him yet. But once he gains that title and we can ask him to pray for us there could potentially be miracles associated with that in which case if it reaches at least 3 he could be officially considered for canonization.
0:59 "You have my sword... And you have my bow... And my axe!"
I just watched this movie and I dunno what to. I'm very speechless. There's a lot of emotion I can't handle to say.
This movie is already better than the crap we got in the Amazon LotR’s new photos. Black elves, really???
So far, not a mention beyond Derek Jacobi's priest of the Faith that inspired the art, motivated the gallantry in war, and brought together Tolkien and the other "Inklings" in fellowship.
They will erase the faith aspect of his life, just wait and see...
I think I'm probably the biggest fan of this movie. I have watched it a thousand times, over and over, yet it still doesn't get old. I love the casting of all the characters, the music, the themes...everything! Its as if this film was specifically made for me as an individual, I don't know why I feel this way...but it really does. I wish I was in this world, I wish I was a part of the TCBS, I wish I had friends like that. It really surprises me that so little people know about this movie, because it is pure art. The reviews online don't match up to the experience I get when watching it, its just simply superb.
Did you know that Tolkien had a secret book series, written under pen name Adam Medvidović ? These books were inspired with his Catholicism, for he was a devour Catholic, but in this books he was writing for grown up people, and he used great foreknowlegde of coming events, and this books are truly prophetic. He never published them, but after this attack on Ukraine his nephews secretly released the first book of the four books. The first book has a name "Night in Zagreb" under pen name Adam Medvidović. First I didnt believe this info, but then I read the book and thats Tolkien. And its clear why he never published them. He is using some strong words there and dark is the atmosphere. Those are not books for children, for Lord of the Rings were actually for his children. You probably heard of this already and im interested what is your opinion. Is this Tolkien? And second thing - do you know where to get other three books from that series? I heard rumors that they are deleting those books cause they want to change the church, and the books were also warning on that (and apocalypse) so im not even sure how long that first book will be on amazon, if its not deleted already..............................................
To my very own Beren and Luthien!!!!
