Jackson then teased his “very special partner” who will help develop the next film after “The Hunt for Gollum,” titled “The Lord of the Rings: Shadows of the Past.” That partner is none other than “The Late Show Host” Colbert, who Jackson patched in through a video call. Colbert, a vocal Tolkien fanatic, then explained that the plot of his movie will come from chapters of “The Fellowship of the Ring” that didn’t make it into Jackson’s 2001 adaptation.

Colbert's genuine affection for Tolkien is common knowledge, Im glad he found a way to stay busy after May.

But for the love of God, stop trying to juice more movies out of LOTR.

My first thought was:

Cool! But....do we really need MORE LotR movies right now?
