Star Wars? Indiana Jones? The Godfather? Back to the Future? Stephen Colbert says screw ‘em. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, the Late Show host decided to declare Peter Jackson’s trilogy as the very best of all time. And he did it in as distinctive a means as potential, with a reunion rap video.

Yes, you learn that proper. Colbert introduced again Lord of the Rings stars Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, Hugo Weaving, Andy Serkis, Orlando Bloom, and Viggo Mortensen for a enjoyable rap video to stake the collection’ declare on the trilogy title. Rappers Method Man and Killer Mike be a part of too as does Anna Kendrick, only for enjoyable. Check this out.

Whenever a late evening program or one thing related releases a video like this, I can’t assist however consider the logistics. Think of all of the planning and time that needed to be put into getting all these individuals collectively. Or, in the event that they aren’t collectively, simply convincing them to be part of it. For instance, think about being considered one of Hugo Weaving’s representatives and getting a request from The Late Show that’s like “We’re doing something of a Lord of the Rings reunion sketch for the 20th anniversary. Lots of your costars are doing it. Oh, and we want you to rap in elvish while Andy Serkis plays a flute.” And then he says OK! Just wild.

But it’s so, so price it. Sketches like this make you bear in mind simply how unimaginable the Lord of the Rings motion pictures had been and unimaginable it’s they really occurred. Imagine if Fellowship of the Ring had bombed? That would have been simply brutal. Thankfully it didn’t, and the movies simply stored getting higher and higher with time.

The official twentieth anniversary of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is on December 19. How will you be celebrating?
