Nicholas Hoult is playing J R R Tolkien in a new biopic, that's started shooting in Ellesmere Port...
The planned biopic of J R R Tolkien, cunningly going by the name of Tolkien, has begun production. What’s more, it’s been shooting this week on location in the north west of England.

A trip to the Cannes Film Festival was the moment the Lord Of The Rings team realised their life was about to change...
As we charted in this article here, the earlier films of director Peter Jackson didn’t offer too many clues that he was the man to both bring J R R Tolkien’s The Lord Of The Rings trilogy to the big screen, and also that he’d made such a raging success of it. From his fun, shlocky early work though was a man learning his craft, one that he continued to hone with the underappreciated and hugely-fun comedy horror The Frighteners, and the rightly Oscar-nominated Heavenly Creatures.
Jackson, though, had his eyes on Tolkien’s trilogy from his early days, but realising Middle Earth on the big screen had long been seen as a formidable challenge. Ralph Bakshi’s 1978 animated movie...
