His early life? So basically they didn't want to have a movie prominently featuring an old person? **** that. The thing I find most fascinating about Tolkien is how throughout his whole life he was so enamored with his hobby of inventing an entire universe that he never even completed it. He just wrote and wrote and wrote and changed things and changed things and changed things to an extent that LOTR beyond The Hobbit and the trilogy have an aspect of obsessed outsider art. If there's going to be a movie about Tolkien than I'd want it to explore all of that and how it integrates with him as a person.
