Late-night hsot Stephen Colbert will co-write a new Lord of the Rings film after his "Late Show" stint ends in May, he revealed in a video alongside Peter Jackson.

Colbert, known for hosting The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, partnered with filmmaker Sir Peter Jackson to write a new film for the franchise.

The film will focus on chapters in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Fellowship of the Ring that were left out of the first movie in the trilogy.

Stephen Colbert is going on an unexpected journey.

Set 14 years after the passing of Frodo, and inspired by an early section of The Fellowship of the Ring.

There's a lot of potential in Stephen Colbert's upcoming "Lord of the Rings" movie, but we also have reasons to be nervous about it.

The upcoming Lord of the Rings film Shadow of the Past is taking a similar gamble to The Hunt for Gollum's.

One week ago, “Project Hail Mary” gave us a reason to hope. Taking a strong $80.5 million, Amazon’s wildly entertaining science-fiction film starring Ryan Gosling enjoyed the biggest non-sequel opening weekend since “Oppenheimer” way back in summer 2023.
