Not only that, there’s a little extra bonus for this star-studded lineup, as the entire production is set to be hosted by none other thanThe Late Show’s Colbert. Anyone who has watched Colbert for long enough knows that the comedian is one of the biggestLord of the Ringsfans in existence, with an almost encyclopedic knowledge of the story and world.
Colbert’s fandom is so well known that he was even given a small cameo inJackson’sThe Hobbitas a gesture of appreciation for his dedication. In fact, this reunion may be one of the first where the host ends up being a bigger fan than the majority of those watching the event. For superfans who aren’t hosting the reunion, questions can be submitted via Twitter until March 10th by using the #LOTR20 hashtag.
Each section of the Q&A will be split up according to each movie, with different stars participating after different films. The exact schedule for each section of the event has been published by the Alamo Drafthouse for those with an interest in specific films, but the whole event kicks off March 25th withThe Fellowship of the Ring.
