New Line Cinema, which presented the world with the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, intends to revert to the theme of Middle-earth, or rather, to the biography of its creator, British writer John Ronald Ruel Tolkien. According to the Deadline edition, British director James Strong has been appointed the director of the biopic titled "Middle-earth", who has episodes of various popular television series, including "11.22.63", "Downton Abbey", "Doctor Who" and others.

It is alleged that the project will focus on the events in the life of the writer, which inspired him to create two of his most famous works - "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings". In particular, it will tell about Tolkien's acquaintance with his future wife, as well as about his military service during the First World War.

Recall that "The Hobbit" was first published in 1937, and "The Lord of the Rings" - after World War II, in the 50s. Both works were movieed by New Zealand director Peter Jackson.

The timing of work on the movie about Tolkien at the time of this writing has not been specified. Possible performers of the main roles were also not named. The project was expected to be presented to potential buyers at the Berlin Film Festival.
