Stephen Colbert already has a new job lined up for when he ends his 11-year run as host of The Late Show in May – the comedian and well-known J R R Tolkien superfan announced he will co-write and develop a new film in the blockbuster Lord of the Rings franchise.
Colbert joined LOTR director Peter Jackson to reveal the news in a video announcement.
“I’m pretty happy about it … you know what the books mean to me and what your films mean to me,” the late-night host told Jackson, who led the Oscar-winning team behind the nearly US$6 billion original Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies.
