New Lord of the Rings movie coming from LOTR nerd Stephen Colbert

Warner Bros. has yet another Lord of the Rings movie in development — tentatively titled The Lord of the Rings: Shadows of the Past — and we have Tolkein superfan and soon-to-be-former-The-Late-Show-host Stephen Colbert to thank. Colbert and Lord of the Rings trilogy director Peter Jackson revealed Wednesday that they’re working together on an adaptation of material from The Fellowship of the Ring that never made it into Jackson’s film.
