Colbert on Monday revealed that the film will be based on “Fogs on the Barrow-downs,” the eighth chapter of The Fellowship of the Ring, where Hobbits are trapped by a Barrow-wight in an unnatural fog. The story also includes a fan favorite character omitted from the previous films, Tom Bombadil. The movie will be derived from chapters three through eight of Tolkien’s landmark book.
Could be very interesting. Those were interesting chapters but I understand why they had to skip over them.

Not this fan. I bounced off the books so many times in my teenage years, because even though they were this great iconic series that defined a genre, suddenly there’s a comic relief bit. Every time I got there, I put the book down assuming there would just be more of it to come. It was only when I mentioned my frustration with it to someone and they told me it’s just that one scene, that I forced myself through it
Suffice to say, I won’t be rushing to see a Tom Bombadil movie…
