It looks like political commentator Stephen Colbert is co-writing a Lord of the Rings movie. How about that? For those of you who were wondering what Colbert would do after CBS said goodbye to the Late Show host, now you know. He’s going to work on a LOTR movie. Huh. Neat. He was such a huge success at Late Night. Give him a LOTR movie. Oof.
Now before we get to the possible titles for this flick that is set 14 years after the passing of Frodo let me just remind you that this is a horrible idea. Not the movie idea. That’s just really questionable. I’m talking about having Colbert involved with anything Tolkien. Stephen Colbert is a political pundit that is sometimes humorous. He is so blatantly one-sided that it is poison to good storytelling. His appearance in the Hobbit instantly took me out of the film’s reality. When I saw his face on screen? It was a drag.
But Hollywood is Hollywood and the nepotistic people look out for other rich, bored nepo friends of theirs. The circle jerk of LA must continue. Talk about your ring of power. The Hollywood circle jerk, that’s the ring.
Now let’s talk possible titles for Stephen Colberts Lord of the Rings movie. Feel free to add your own in the comments section too!
Lord of the rings – The hunt for money. Or Stephen Colbert’s Circle Jerk of power. Or The Fellowship of Peter Jackson’s Ding a ling. Or. Stephen Colbert’s Return of the Queen. Or Mordor: Built Back Better!
How about Stephen Colbert’s LOTR: How to ruin a classic. Or Stephen Colbert: Pissing on Tolkien’s grave! Or Stephen Colbert’s LOTR: The mouth of Sauron, the ass of Pippin. Or Stephen Colberts LOTR: The Scouring of Tolkien.
How about Return of the sex ring? At the pizza gate of Mordor?
It will be a shitty money grab. The are really going to do massive damage to the original trilogy. IMO.
