Yes- based on The New Shadow, and reportedly already has a production deal.

Whiskey tango actual foxtrot?

Leaving aside his "qualifications". how the devil did he secure the rights (assuming he did)? Neither the Zaentz nor the Amazon licenses touch HoME material.

Needless to say, there's no movie in the single chapter Tolkien actually wrote. Expect more worthless fan-fic like Rohirrim and 3/4 of Hobbit.
