The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim - Official Trailer - Warner Bros. UK & Ireland

Peter Jackson presents a groundbreaking journey back to Middle-earth through the eyes of legendary director Kenji Kamiyama. #LOTR The War of the Rohirrim - in cinemas December 13.

New Line Cinema’s original anime feature “The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim” returns audiences to the epic world brought to life in “The Lord of the Rings” Trilogy, based on the revered books by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Under the direction of award-winning filmmaker Kenji Kamiyama (the “Blade Runner: Black Lotus” and “Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex” TV series), the talented voice cast is led by Brian Cox (“Succession”) as Helm Hammerhand, the mighty King of Rohan; Gaia Wise (“A Walk in the Woods”) as his daughter Héra; and Luke Pasqualino (“Snowpiercer”) as Wulf. Miranda Otto, who delivered an unforgettable, award-winning performance in “The Lord of the Rings” Trilogy, reprises her role as Éowyn, Shieldmaiden of Rohan, who serves as the tale’s narrator. The voice ensemble also includes Lorraine Ashbourne (Netflix’s “Bridgerton”), Yazdan Qafouri (“I Came By”), Benjamin Wainwright (“World on Fire”), Laurence Ubong Williams (“Gateway”), Shaun Dooley (“The Witcher”), Michael Wildman (“Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw”), Jude Akuwudike (“Beasts of No Nation”), Bilal Hasna (“Sparks”) and Janine Duvitski (“Benidorm”).

Set 183 years before the events chronicled in the original trilogy of films, “The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim” tells the fate of the House of Helm Hammerhand, the legendary King of Rohan. A sudden attack by Wulf, a clever and ruthless Dunlending lord seeking vengeance for the death of his father, forces Helm and his people to make a daring last stand in the ancient stronghold of the Hornburg— a mighty fortress that will later come to be known as Helm’s Deep. Finding herself in an increasingly desperate situation, Héra, the daughter of Helm, must summon the will to lead the resistance against a deadly enemy intent on their total destruction.

With Kamiyama at the helm, the original feature is being produced by Oscar winner Philippa Boyens, from the screenwriting team behind “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” Trilogies, alongside Jason DeMarco and Joseph Chou, who, in addition to their many separate animation projects, collaborated on the “Blade Runner: Black Lotus” series. The executive producers are Fran Walsh, Peter Jackson, Sam Register, Carolyn Blackwood and Toby Emmerich. The screenplay is by Jeffrey Addiss & Will Matthews and Phoebe Gittins & Arty Papageorgiou, story by Addiss & Matthews and Boyens, based on characters created by J.R.R. Tolkien. The team of creative collaborators returning from “The Lord of the Rings” Trilogy also includes Oscar winners Alan Lee and Richard Taylor, along with esteemed Tolkien illustrator John Howe.

A New Line Cinema Presentation, a Warner Bros. Animation / Sola Entertainment Production, “The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim,” will be distributed theatrically worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, released in cinemas nationwide on December 13, 2024, and internationally beginning 11 December 2024.

I accumulated a total of 89 thousand today. I am truly grateful for all the knowledge and information you have given me over the past few weeks. I started with 5 thousand 2 months ago .God bless you Deborah

I wish the animation was less computer heavy. the 2D / 3D combination is off putting. there’s claims everywhere comparing it to studio ghibli but what makes those films so beautiful is that they are done by hand. hopefully the writing makes up for it.

[dragondaveltd]

Looks promising, but the animation is nice

[hardbrocklife]

This is a rewrite of Frealeafs story, Helm Hammerhands nephew, with a strong, independent female character as the protagonist.

[CllrP]

Thank god we have a girl boss story, we don’t have enough of those. We just need her to team up with Guy-ladriel. Just how Tolkien imagined it…

[MrImastinker]

Jeezus, you complainers are fragile.

I swear if LOTR came out today you would be complaining every time Eowyn comes onscreen.

“Woke” this, “feminism” that.

GROW UP.

Why tell a story about legendary Helm Hammerhand, when you can invent a girlboss daughter story instead? Sorry, but Phillipa Boyens urges were contained with LOTR (see in interviews her urge to push the Eowyn storyline), but here as lead writer she unleashes them on Middle-Earth.

I love this Lord of the Rings movie better than the Rings of Power and it will be released on December the 13 I am going to love this movie except the Oliphants

[belle-jcqn]

A red head, a rare thing in movies today.

[EOS]

She " GIRL BOSSED it" ! Slay Queen, that's right you don't need no Man...😅 What utter plot garbage this going to be. Gives off Rings of Power vibes...

[problemchildk]

Another woman empowering movie yeah. Can’t wait.

[TasTheWatcher]

Is it me or does the framerate seem low

[LorDarkGoose]

Looks cool, but the animation is too manga and not enough World of Warcraft for my liking.

[adambrown]

Why did they not make this a proper film !

[futurecloud]

Art style is disappointing, looks suited more to Netflix streaming sorry

[filipgeorgievski]

looks amazing but Oliphaunts ( Mumakil ) are beasts from Haradwaith which is uttermost South, no idea why they put them in the film tho plus contradicting the whole lore and logic !!

[laurentiudll]

something something, male is weak, something something strong women

[yingcartoonist]

Anime is so clean and bloody I love it so much cleaner film

[WiliamDibbbMusic]

This is absolutely horrid, I mean, if your going to make a Lord Of The Rings movie you will be fighting an uphill battle from the start, but to go to anime is too low, if you don't have the budget for actors, please don't stain a great franchise.
