Tolkien: Lily Collins Interview
52Tolkien: Lily Collins Interview
Recently Fox Searchlight brought Collider and a few other journalists to London to visit the shooting location of their upcoming J.R.R. Tolkien biopic, Tolkien.
Tolkien hits cinemas on May 10th, and we were fortunate enough to speak with several people who worked on the film, including Tolkien co-star Lily Collins. Collins portrays Tolkien’s wife Edith Bratt, who famously inspired the elven beauties Luthien and Arwen. Collins is no stranger to genre movies having previously starred in The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones.
We spoke with Collins about the gravity of bringing to life the legendary “dancing scene” between Luthien and Beren. Much of Edith Bratt’s story through Tolkien is heavily inspired by the fiction she later gave birth to, since very little is known about her early life (the same can be said for Professor Tolkien, himself). Most of her scenes in Tolkien involved working directly with Nicholas Hoult, given the fact that she is the only main character who did not attend Oxford University and how important her working relationship with Hoult was.
