Summary
- Stephen Colbert will script the upcoming Lord of the Rings film.
- The movie will draw from unused Fellowship of the Ring chapters.
- Colbert recently concluded his late-night show on CBS.
Stephen Colbert is expanding his creative endeavors by writing the script for the next installment in the Lord of the Rings saga, tentatively titled "Lord of the Rings: Shadows of the Past." This film will delve into story elements from "The Fellowship of the Ring" that were omitted from the 2001 film adaptation.

During his guest appearance, Colbert engaged with various personalities, including actor Jeff Daniels and musician Jack White. He also had a humorous FaceTime exchange with Byron Allen, whose program is set to succeed Colbert's show on the CBS lineup. The comedian had previously hinted at this public access appearance during the finale of "The Late Show."
