J.R.R Tolkien in 1916[/caption]
The other thing is that 'Tolkien' isn't pronounced how you think it is. At least according to Lily Collins, who plays Edith Bratt in the film.
Appearing on This Morning, Collins told an apparently shocked Philip Schofield (who is a huge fan, according to Philip Schofield) and Holly Willoughby that the correct pronunciation is in fact 'Tolkeen' rather than the almost-universally used 'Tolkin'.
Explaining to the two hosts, Collins admitted: "I think Nick [Nicholas Hoult] and I were both surprised and a lot of the times on set we found ourselves having to correcting ourselves."
