J.R.R Tolkien Biopic on the way!

[Victarion]

Howard > Tolkien

 

[Roose Bolton]

I will also second that motion.


Still, it'll be interesting to see them develop the Tolkien/Lewis bromance

 

[DarkKnight88]

Lord of the Rings > Narnia > Conan

Howard can be the villain.

 

[Victarion]

Moorcock is Tolkien's nemesis...or viceversa. Something covering Tolkien's time in the trenches and its influence on the creation of Middle Earth would be a pretty strong draw.

 

[DKDetective]

It's scarily uncanny. [in regards to purported resemblance between Tolkien and Cumberbatch.]

I'm sorry, sir, but you either have the sight of a Nazgul or your love of the halfling's leaf has clearly slowed your mind. Tolkien and Cumberbatch look nothing alike other than being both white males of English descent.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Which is all you need really. Cumberbatch looks nothing like Turing either but pulled it off.

 

[DKDetective]

Of course, a ton of resemblance is not required for biopics unless the subject of the film has an incredibly iconic and distinctive physical appearance. (eg. Churchill) I was just commenting on the over-the-top declarations of uncanny resemblance, not the suitability to play the part.

 

[Pink Ranger]

I admit I am not an avid Cumberbatch follower, but if he did this, would it be a rare time when he plays a traditional male romantic lead (of sorts)? His insane female following would swoon if this was marketed mainly as a love story.

 

[DeGenerate10]

Has there been any word or development on this movie?

 

[Mandon Knight]

Trailer....
