The „first“ Tolkien movie poster is online!
The poster features actor Nichloas Hoult, who plays J.R.R.Tolkien, and two depictions of soldiers: one from WWI and one from the fantasy world Tolkien would invent. It offers us more hints as to the evolution of Tolkien’s imagination from boyhood to his experiences in WWI.
