Colbert Credits Hader for Lord of the Rings Project
6 Apr
Summary
- Colbert found inspiration for his new project in Bill Hader's career path.
- Hader previously wrote for South Park after leaving Saturday Night Live.
- Colbert will co-write a new Lord of the Rings movie with his son.
Stephen Colbert recently shared that Bill Hader's career transition after leaving "Saturday Night Live" served as a significant inspiration for his own future endeavors. Colbert cited Hader's decision to write for "South Park" as a "perfect thing to do," allowing him to "serve something that you love." This philosophy appears to have influenced Colbert's own post-"The Late Show" plans.
Colbert is now involved in a new "Lord of the Rings" movie, titled "The Lord of the Rings: Shadow of the Past," which he is co-writing with his son, Peter McGee. This project is a collaboration with Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, and Philippa Boyens. The film's synopsis details an adventure following Sam, Merry, and Pippin fourteen years after Frodo's passing, while Sam's daughter uncovers a secret about the War of the Ring.
