It’s never too late for Stephen Colbert to start a new chapter.
Two months before The Late Show with Stephen Colbert comes to an end, The Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson revealed the late-night host is set to “develop the script” for an upcoming film in the franchise.
After announcing that the LOTR team was working with “a very special partner” in a March 25 X video, Peter teased that fans could “see for yourself” who that person would be as Stephen entered the clip in a split-screen, where he could be seen with his nose in a book from the series.
As a self-proclaimed superfan of the novels, Stephen couldn’t hide his excitement over his new role.
“I’m pretty happy about it” he said. “You know what the books mean to me and what your films mean to me.”
Noting that he wanted to focus the upcoming movie on chapters three through six from the first book, which never made it into the movies, Stephen knew for some time now “that could be its own story that could fit into the larger story.”
