Stephen Colbert scene to co-write new ‘Lord of the Rings' picture
The satirist and longtime Tolkien devotee is teaming up with Warner Bros. and his son, screenwriter Peter McGee, to co-write a brand-new Lord of the Rings picture, currently titled The Lord of the Rings: Shadows of the Past .
Warner Bros. confirmed the project in a facility video featuring helmer Peter Jackson, who introduced Colbert as part of a larger expansion of the program.
Colbert explained that the idea grew from chapters of The Fellowship of the Ring that were never adapted for feature.
“Maybe that could be its own storyline that could fit into the larger storyline,” he said, emphasizing his desire to remain faithful to both Tolkien’s books and Jackson’s films.
Early details suggest Sam, Merry, and Pippin retrace their original path, while Sam’s daughter Elanor uncovers a hidden truth tied to the War of the Ring .
