AUSTIN, Texas -- The author of The Hobbit and The Lord of Rings gives us one more incredible story as the subject of a new film about his own life.

The movie is called Tolkien, after J.R.R Tolkien. 

He's one the most famous fantasy writers of all time.

A sneak peek of the film is scheduled in some local theaters Tuesday night.

The stars who play Tolkien (Nicholas Hoult) and his wife Edith (Lily Collins) will do a Q&A that will be live streamed to theaters after the film.

Spectrum News' Victor Diaz talked to them about the big night and their special guest host Stephen Colbert.
