Stephen Colbert is developing a new The Lord of the Rings film with his son Peter McGee and veteran writer Philippa Boyens. The project plans a story faithful to Tolkien’s books and the films, using a framing device to adapt missing chapters (chapters 3–8) from The Fellowship of the Ring. The plot is described as set fourteen years after Frodo’s passing, following Sam’s daughter Elanor as she uncovers a long-buried secret, with the original LOTR writers involved in shaping the story.
