The 2nd biopic on J.R.R. Tolkien ‘ Tolkien and Lewis’ will pivot on his friendship with the ‘Chronicles Of Narnia’ author C.S. Lewis.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the 18 million dollar project which would be helmed by Simon West, is mainly set at the start of World War II, and will show tell of the time Tolkien helped influence Lewis to re-embrace Christianity after Lewis had become an atheist at the age of 15.
Attractive Films is hoping to release the biopic, which is being produced by Mark Joseph, Mark Cooper, Jib Polhemus, and Charles Moore, before Chernin Entertainment’s ‘Tolkien’, which would largely focus on Tolkien’s time in Oxford University’s Pembroke College and his military service.
