Alamo Drafthouse Returns To Middle-Earth With ‘Lord Of The Rings’ Cast Reunion Hosted By Stephen Colbert
Quote
Huzzah! The Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson will revisit Middle-earth alongside cast members of the epic film trilogy Sean Astin, Cate Blanchett, Orlando Bloom, Billy Boyd, Peter Jackson, Ian McKellen, Dominic Monaghan, Viggo Mortensen, Andy Serkis, Liv Tyler, and Elijah Wood.

The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema has set up the event which will be hosted by “Ring Nut” Stephen Colbert. Over the course of three weeks starting March 26, The Late Show host will talk to Jackson and cast members to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the films based on the J.R.R. Tolkien novels. Fans can submit questions for the assembled panel through March 10 using #LOTR20 on Twitter.

The reunion will initially be exclusive to theatrical screenings of the new 4K remastering of The Lord of the Rings trilogy. The reunion is part of the “Support Local Cinemas” campaign which includes star-studded Q&As exclusively available to theaters around the world for free.

“One of the experiences I miss most during this last year, beyond getting to hug my friends and travel, is sitting in a dark movie theater eagerly anticipating a new cinematic experience,” said Wood (aka Frodo Baggins), who led the charge in assembling the cast and crew. “When Tim [League] reached out with the idea that we could band together to bring some much-needed support to independent theaters across the globe, I jumped at the chance to help.”

“We are extremely confident that post-Covid, the pent-up demand for the magic of moviegoing will be very strong and the industry will return and flourish,” says Tim League, Alamo Drafthouse Founder and Executive Chairman. “In the meantime, we’re grateful to Peter Jackson, the gracious participating cast members, and Stephen Colbert for participating in these very special events and letting fans experience these incredible films on the big screen in safe, open theaters.”
