Colbert is a top-level Tolkien nerd, so the thought of him writing a script is very, very cool.

Will it become an actual movie, though? Who knows ...

Well i guess the tv show and the hobbit movies at least set the bar low for him.

Henry Cavill as Tom Bombadil.

I think Andy Serkis should be Bombadil and do it exactly as he does in the audiobook.

I also want a 'Scourging of the Shire', please.

YES PELASE!! The Scouring of the Shire is one of my absolute favorite parts of the story!

It is the perfect ending to the entire epic journey, in my opinion.

Bit tricky, since they killed off Sauruman in the movies, but I agree ... it would be cool.

Sharky doesn't necessarily need to be Sarumon for it to work. Also, even fallen he's an aesir and they don't REALLY DIE. He could totally come back, clinging desperately to life all gollum-esque. It could work.
