Stephen Colbert announces he’s co-writing new ‘Lord of the Rings’ film

Stephen Colbert was scorched by “Lord of the Rings” fans after it was announced in a video alongside director Peter Jackson that he would pen the script for a new film in the epic fantasy franchise. “Why in the everloving f–k would anyone want Colbert doing this?” one person tweeted following the news, adding that late creator J.R.R. Tolkien is “absolutely spinning in his grave.” However, other fans of Tolkien’s books and Jackson’s hit film adaptations welcomed Colbert’s involvement. “Colbert knows more Tolkien lore than most screenwriters, so this might actually work,” one supporter wrote on X.
