"Tolkien" sparks controversy The Tolkien family said they did not support the film

The upcoming North American biopic "Tolkien" has sparked controversy

On April 24, 1905, according to foreign media reports, the upcoming biopic "Tolkien" to be released in North America caused controversy, and Tolkien's family and inheritance committee recently issued a statement saying that they "did not recognize, authorize, and did not participate in the production of the film" and said that they did not support the film and its contents in any way.

The biopic Tolkien, starring Nicholas Holt, Lily Collins, and others, focuses on Tolkien's life before the outbreak of World War I and the impact of the war on his creation of The Lord of the Rings.

Film director Dom Karukuski previously commented that "House of the Black Butterfly" and "Strange Old Man" have received a lot of good reputation, and the directing of the biopic has encountered a lot of resistance. A spokesman for the Tolkien Estates Committee confirmed that Tolkien's family had not seen the film, so this statement is not directed at any specific plot and scene in the film. He also revealed that in the past, the Tolkien Legacy Committee had been contacted by many parties to make a biopic (not specifically referred to as this one), but never gave any permission to the film project.
