Warner Bros. has revealed that Stephen Colbert and his son are developing a brand new “Lord of the Rings” movie. The announcement came Tuesday night via the studio’s various social media accounts.
The video announcement opened with “Lord of the Rings” director Peter Jackson giving a quick update about the next film in the fantasy franchise: Andy Serkis’ “The Hunt for Gollum.” Jackson said of the project, which is set for release in 2027: “Andy is doing a terrific job. It’s looking amazing. The script is coming together really well and I think it’s going to be a really good film.”
Jackson then teased his “very special partner” who will help develop the next film after “The Hunt for Gollum,” titled “The Lord of the Rings: Shadows of the Past.” That partner is none other than “The Late Show Host” Colbert, who Jackson patched in through a video call. Colbert, a vocal Tolkien fanatic, then explained that the plot of his movie will come from chapters of “The Fellowship of the Ring” that didn’t make it into Jackson’s 2001 adaptation.

Will casting be done by Kathleen Kennedy?
It should be done by Peter Jackson and be titled ‘The Silmarillion’.
Hunt for Gollum? We all know already how that turned out.
Hope he sinks all his money into it.
Jackson’s LOTR is great, to the extent it is difficult to tell the CGI characters from the human.
His King Kong was great, excepting the ridiculous ‘running with the brontos.’ Should have been excluded or greatly reduced and instead have included the sea serpent scenes in the main movie release.
More proof that liberals have fantasy prone personalities. Stick to entertainment, Stevie boy. Let adult conservatives run everything else.
With dancing Hypodermics...
Not just dancing hypodermic needles, but men wearing false eyelashes, women's makeup, and women's shoes while dancing as hypodermic needles.
