Warner Bros. has unveiled that Stephen Colbert and his son are developing a brand new film in the “Lord of the Rings” universe. The announcement came Tuesday night via the studio’s various social media accounts.
Tolkien penned his legendary fantasy trilogy in the 1950s after the success of his 1937 book, “The Hobbit.” Peter Jackson adapted “The Lord of the Rings” into three films, released in 2001, 2002 and 2003. Widely considered to be Jackson’s most celebrated work, the films earned 17 Oscar wins, with 11 of those going to the final chapter, “The Return of the King.” Jackson also adapted “The Hobbit,” splitting the comparatively slim novel into three parts. Those movies were released in 2012, 2013 and 2014.
