Colbert Writing Lord of the Rings Is Peak Fan-Fic

Stephen Colbert and his son are officially co-writing a new Lord of the Rings movie, proving that being a professional nerd is finally a high-status career path. I have spent years watching mediocre writers butcher Tolkien's purity for the sake of a box office splash, so seeing the keys handed to a man who can actually recite the lineage of Beren and Luthien is a rare moment of justice. It is either the ultimate act of gatekeeping or the world's most expensive bring-your-son-to-work day, and frankly, I am tired of pretending the industry pros could do it better.
