Film company Warner Bros. A few years ago, it announced the launch of the production of the anime film “The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim,” based on the legendarium of J. R. R. Tolkien. The film promises to be an epic prequel to the original Lord of the Rings film trilogy, telling the story of the defense of the fortress of Helm’s Deep on behalf of the king of Rohan, Helm Hammerhand. How closely the anime will be able to recreate the unique fantasy atmosphere from the films, we will soon find out. The creators have officially confirmed the premiere for this year.

Now there will be a brief excursion into the history of Middle-earth
War of the Rohirrim tells the story of Helm Hammerhand, who became King of Rohan in 2741, and the defense of the Rohirrim fortress Hornburg in Helm’s Deep from the Dunlendings.
The events described above were led to by the murder of Freki, the ruler of the lands of Adorn. At one of the councils, he asked the hand of the daughter of King Rohan for his son, to which Helm responded only with ridicule. Then Freka, enraged by the refusal, insulted the king and even began to threaten him. After the end of the council, Hammerhand did not stand on ceremony with the ruler who had crossed the line and killed him with one blow of his fist expelled the companions accompanying him, and proclaimed them enemies of the kingdom.
After n number of years, Rohan will be attacked from the east by the Easterlings, with whom they will have to fight alone without Gondor since it was attacked. Seeing this as a convenient opportunity for revenge, the Dunlendings, led by Wulf, son of Freka, will march from the west. Helm will take the battle at the hand of Isen but will be forced to retreat with heavy losses to Hornburg, where he and the remnants of the troops were besieged.
This is what the anime will essentially tell everyone about. How it will turn out will be known only after it is released in cinemas, but from the information that we managed to find, this is exactly the picture that emerged.
Heading the work on a feature-length animated film of this scale is Kenji Kamiyama, a man with a wealth of experience and an excellent understanding of the world of anime
He is best known for the acclaimed Ghost in the Shell: Loner Syndrome, where he mainly directed, but wrote the script for some episodes himself.
Phoebe Gittins, daughter of Philippa Boyens, who wrote the scripts for the film trilogy “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit,” is working on the script for “Wars of the Rohirrim.” By the way, Boyens and Kamiyama are collaborating on the plot, which means she is most likely consulting with the anime director so that the prequel will better fit with Jackson’s films.
It is also known that the feature-length will be 130 minutes, thanks to which, upon release, the anime will be included in the list of the 50 longest animated films of all time.
Through social media and public spaces at CinemaCon, Warner Bros. executives reportedly reported that production of the anime “The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim” is almost completed. The film is in post-production and is preparing for worldwide release. The company intends to release it in theaters and digital formats later this year. They consider the New Year holidays from November to the end of December 2024 to be the most favorable moment for the premiere.
The acting cast is also pleasing
There is Miranda Otto, who played the role of Eowyn in Jackson’s films, and Brian Cox, who will voice Helm, King of Rohan, his track record is huge (his last prominent roles were in the TV series “Descendants” and “Good Omens”), the Briton Luke Pasqualino, remembered for “ Skins” and “Borgia”, who gave his voice to Wulf, Freka’s son, and others. In general, we have assembled a fairly powerful team, capable of quilting if desired.
Due to last year’s WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, Warner Bros. has decided to move the release date of The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim from April 2024 to December 13.
