Don't worry guys, it's completely fake... that almost ruined my year.

Knowing that this is fake, it’s unbelievably fucking funny

Best joke ever told by James Corden if this were to have come from James Corden himself

I was looking forward to the musical number: Bom-bom bom bom Bombadil, Bom-bom bom bom Bombadil, Bombadil, You’ve got skill, etc… Set to the tune of Barbara Anne. Bummer.

Heroes on a half shell - BOMBADIL!!!

Thanks so much!!! I literally sat down to shit and this was top of my reddit page. Now that it's fake, that's funny.

*sad bum noises*

I sincerely wish this was true of any announcement that has to do with Corden starring in something. Or appearing in something. Or mentioning another film or series.

Yeah I'm not trying to play up "cancel culture" but I honestly came here because I thought we had indeed canceled James Corden.

The curse is made even worse by the fact that, in terms of looks, I could totally see James Corden as Tom Bombadil. But why is he only in disasters? Damn the Corden curse.

If there was a Tolkien character that would fit Corden, who would it be?

Barliman "Barley" Batterbur, the proprietor of The Prancing Pony inn.

The fuck did Barley do to you?

Absolutely nothing! I just think James Corden isn't a terrible actor and could play a good innkeeper. Heck, he's actually one of the nicest parts of a movie I otherwise absolutely loathe.

I’m disappointed now.

I nearly ended my existence with sheer willpower alone until I read this

The only way this would ever be acceptable is if Matt Berry was cast as Tom Bombadil

Faaatheeeeeeeeer

Lets hope Bonbadil doesn't sleep with a woman that used to be from Iran

You used to be a man? I thought you said you were from Aman!

Speak, prrrriest!

SPEAK PRIEST

Toast of Middle Earth

Clem son of Fandango, son of Yes, I can hear you

I'd rather have this very unrelated regular human bartender called Jackie Daytona cast as Tom Bombadil.

Nah. Jackie Daytona, from Tucson Arizonia needs to keep focusing on getting the Bucks their championship.

Jim the Vampire took over coaching/management duties for the Bucks after Jackie Daytona disappeared. Go Bucks!

Is this gun loaded?

Is that fucking Hitler?!?

I can already hear him pronouncing "Old Man WhilloOw"

What about Jack Black?

He's the first one I thought about for the role

You know this Gandalf characterrrrr?

Henry zebrowski is actually the correct answer.

Agree. Hail yourself!

Holy fuck I never knew I wanted something so bad

Omg! I would get on board with that! Matt Berry van so give off the Tom Bombadil vibes!

what about Jack Black?

When you said that the it crowd theme played it my head

I'm about to get into some serious kinslaying

You know what? Maybe Feanor *did* do some things right, after all

Fucking hell that detail hahahaha

This can’t be real, no no

God has indeed forsaken us.

I know it's fake but I wish to believe some studio would make something so silly and actually hire people to be on set. The whole work day would be an exercise of restraint of either laughing at it and ruining the take or just bursting into tears and sobs for the sudden realisation that YOU are working on the Tom Bombadil movie.

Immediately _Cats_ springs to mind. God, how uncomfortable that must’ve been as a crew member.

Guy named Adil: fuck

Better be some Ents up in this musical

[BOMBACLAAT!](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=C3ylX0QRxSk&t=0h0m17s)

That video title is liminal

Bad man like this!

Not the bombaclaat i was expecting

So that’s what happens in the bathrooms at work 🤔

I will fucking riot.

No, it needs to be jack black

Oh, that would be cool indeed! But frankly I don’t get any of the JC hate.

Found his publicist's account

🤷‍♂️ I knew next to nothing about him before I started watching his covid-era banter-ish late late shows. I enjoyed those, a lot. That said, I haven’t watched a single movie with him. I do know he can sing though. But go ahead, downvote someone for having a different opinion.

The hate towards James Corden is largely because anyone who's ever interacted with him can tell you that he's an extremely unpleasant person when he's not on camera.

Watch Cats (2019) and you'll understand.

Watch Into the Woods (2014) and you might understand (The only good thing about that movie is they cut most of Cordon's characters lines that were in the play originally)

I don’t really have strong opinions about him personally. But here’s what I’ve gleaned: he’s a cunt.

Thank it's God fake....don't give them ideas guys

But... Why?

[Here's why](https://youtu.be/RRVIVJjuaHE)

I mean, I'd just rather never see or hear James Corden do anything again.

Thats fair. I just got excited for Tom Bombadil

Nobody but Jack Black is right for that role...

Not funny.

Fucking Tom mother fucking Bombadil played by James god damn Corden. This will not be good.

Who's Bombadil? I dont know a lot abt LotR but this is the second time in two days I've seen Bombadil be important to something.

Tom Bombadil is a very odd character. He’s an indescribably ancient, incredibly powerful, happy-go-lucky, constantly singing being who lives in the Old Forest. He saves the hobbits from Old Man Willow in Fellowship of the Ring. His fairy-tale-ness and obscure lore make him feel like an odd fit for the rest of the story, so Peter Jackson omitted him from the film version of the Trilogy. Tolkien made some mentions of his importance to the world, but it’s still a bit unclear what his role in the Middle-earth was. In general, he’s feels like a character from a nursery rhyme or kid’s fantasy story (which is, I think, where he appeared when Tolkien first created him) awkwardly smushed into LotR.

[He is an amazing character from the fellowship of the rings. He sings the baddies away! ](https://youtu.be/RRVIVJjuaHE)

To add on to /u/akio3's wonderful answer, some of Bombadil's odd aspects include his equally mysterious wife and the fact that he asks to check out the ring from Frodo, Frodo gives it to him, Bombadil PUTS IT ON, and is like, "Huh, yeah, that's a funny trinket. Oh well. Here you go." And they're like, "It has no effect on you? At all? That's amazing! So you can safely take it to be destroyed!" And Bombadil is all, "Nah. I'mma stay here, wooding it up with my indescribably beautiful wife while the world burns around us. Good luck to you, though."

Chad behavior

Bombadil is the reason I could finish LoTR as a child. That shit with the ring wraiths scared the fuck out of me, then along comes Tom and I breezed through the rest of it. It really makes you relax when some bloke puts on the ring, complements it, and GIVES IT BACK!

Imagine if Mother Earth fucked Barney the Dinosaur, *and you just know those chromosome numbers don't line up*. Dress him like Paddington Bear, add huge amounts of cocaine and give him a stripper.

Read the books

But skip the bombadil parts

Andy Serkis's singing of bombadil part saved it for me. Tried many times reading the book but couldn't actually finish. Finally tried audiobook and now I'm nearly finished with the fellowship of the ring.

Another helpful comment from the friendliest fandom on earth

If the guy wants to actually know who Tom Bombadil is, he should read the books. There isn’t a clear explanation as to his role, he would get a far better explanation from reading the text than he would from some paraphrased speculation from internet nerds.

You can explain who Tom is in a paragraph, instead of just telling someone to read a thousand page book

You can also tell the entire story of lotr in a paragraph. That doesn’t make it a good explanation. Just say you’re illiterate and move on

Tom Bombadil is only relevant in at most two or three chapters and we know next to nothing about him. You're comparing one minor character from a few scenes to the plot of an entire large, detailed fantasy epic

You have to be one of the weakest arguers I've ever seen on reddit, take some classes or something

It takes someone truly illiterate to argue against recommending a person read one of the greatest literary works of all time.

Lmfao

If you're going to make a movie about a magical, happy-go-lucky character that sings then hire that exact person who lives in our world: Jack Black.

Jesus God No

Well there's a movie I don't plan on watching

Amazon: we just did the worst thing possible to LoTR. James Cordon: Hold my apple martini.

Thanks, I hate ruined Lord of the Rings character adaptation

If true, this is the exact casting to be done if destroying the last remaining vestiges of Tolkien’s genius is the main goal of modern entertainment and media production companies. Good job, asshats.

Please people this is an actual baby hitler moment. Someone do what needs to be done.

We truly do live in the darkest time-line.

Nope

One Bomb to rule all Hollywood bombs. 💣

Id give him a shot but he has to grow the beard himself

Michael Scott “no” gif

James Corden needs to fuck off for a while

Sounds like the next Cats

I like James Corden show, his movies are awful

[удалено]

Trailers for a movie that doesn't exist?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hopefully jack Black will play him in ROP

I don’t actually hate James Corden quite as much as the majority, but I would lobotomize myself if this happened

everyone should bring up the fact that he treats waiters like garbage

Is this what this subreddit is for?

Fuck you. Fuck off. No.

Surely there isn't a more punchable face in the entire world, right?

WWIII not sounding that bad tbh

🥱

While this is fake, I have a horrible feeling Jim Carey is going to be cast as someone in the WB productions and I don’t know why

Imagine it comes out and it’s actually an incredibly moving masterpiece … starring James Corden as Tom Bombadil.

Not like this. Not like this….

Can't they just deport this fat fuck back to Britain?

Does anyone know where the image on the right came from?

Wow I can't wait to not see it!

Does he get good ratings or does he just have an absolute all star for an agent? I can’t wrap my head around how this guy keeps getting work.

Ah man, could you imagine? It would totally brick the entire franchise

Oh hell naw

He does look like Tom Bombadil and I really wish he didn't.

Please fucking dont. Hes a human potato and bombadill is a literal god.

Nooooooooo

I hope I'm dead and gone before this is released

The only starring role Corden should be involved with is being shot into the heart of the sun.

Adding this to the list of movies I’ll vehemently I Avoid because James cordon

Please make this. I want to see the worst movie ever made.

Carriage pool karaoke

I was about to use the good old family suicide rope.

He's not a good actor. Why? Why do they still use him?

Im sorry but what exactly is bad about this? Is it the actor? The story? Im actually lost right now

No

How dare they throw my favorite my immortal character to the wolves like this

Hollywood when someone is falsely accused of abuse: CANCELLED AND BLACKLIST. Hollywood when someone is hated by the entire internet and is a complete asshole irl: 10 MILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT.

I enjoyed the rest of tales from the perilous realm. I quit tom bombadil about 9 pages in. It's hard to read.

Guys should I send this to my J.R.R. Tolkien class professor to drive him mad? I think I should

Anything with James cordon is automatically shitty

I can’t believe they would even consider a movie with that unfunny, hacky loser fuck character… and also Tom Bombadil.

I fucking hate James Corden

Thank fuck this is fake.

*Michael Scott gif*

That’s not a shitty movie detail. That’s an April fools joke that’s way too early.

Whenever i see this guy i want to punch him

I am going to end existence

Thank god it's fake, I wish that doofus cordon was also fake
