the colbert part of this story is inconsequential to me.
the IP is being monetized to a degree where it no longer has its original appeal. it's just a brand now. it's no longer literature.
whether it's colbert helping write it or a nameless writer doesn't really matter.
Didn't we know that the second they split The Hobbit into a trilogy? This IP has been DOA
Knight of the Seven Kingdoms out now
Only a matter of time before they remake the original trilogy
“Back then we couldn’t afford/didn’t have the technology to make all the orks cgi like in the hobbit!!! But now with the help of ai…”
I'm more worried about this being CGI/AI slop
He used ai on besties but for this we can pray he wouldn’t
I’m sorry, but isn’t Colbert like a super Tolkien Stan?
What’s wrong with him writing if that’s the case
Matrix 4 vindicated once again
Actually yes lol which is why even if a mixed bag on execution I appreciate the message . In a dream world Lilly comes back . Bill pope doesn’t leave due to covid fears .
This sounds awful
From getting Andy serkis to direct to some irrelevant talk show host to write, this is quite easily the worst treated IP in Hollywood
Tolkien has likely rolled over so much in his grave, the bones have dissolved entirely
