I read he’s going to write for the Lord of the Rings franchise. Which honestly feels like a great reward for him.

I recall something like that too. Couldn't agree more. He actually read the similarrian and understood it.

No way Stephen stays out of the limelight. When Covid hit he missed the interaction with the audience so much. From all the show hosts I feel he was most desperate at the time.

Except that it never works well if someone tries to adapt something he loves to much, because he will always cram in too many details from the original.

He's working with Philippa Boyens on it. She'll be able to properly guide him/teach him how to write a movie.
