On the eve of the exit of Baopek with Nicholas Holt starring Relatives J. R.R. Tolkina said they do not approve this project. This is not uncommon, when families of historical personalities are collapsed on biographical films with criticism: so it was, for example, with the "green book" and the character Mahershala Ali, whose image native Don Shirley considered not the corresponding reality.
D Case with "Tolkin" everything is a bit different. According to Thr, the writer's family did not even watch the film. It turns out that the creators of the baiopic did not consult with the relatives of Tolkien and did not appeal to them to remove it, so the writer's family opposed this project. The representatives of the studio hurried to declare: "We are immensely proud of the film of Kaugoski. "Tolkin" tells about the early years of the unusual life of the writer, without affecting his novels. Although we did not cooperate with the family of Tolkien, the shooting group reacted with great respect to his person and his outstanding contribution to the literature. "
