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 Peter Jackson‘s The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, based on the revered books by J.R.R. Tolkien, through the eyes of legendary anime director Kenji Kamiyama.
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 (voiced by Brian Cox). A sudden attack by Wulf (Luke Pasqualino), 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 (Gaia Wise), the daughter of Helm, must summon the will to lead the resistance against a deadly enemy intent on their total destruction.
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. This grandiloquent journey is scheduled to arrive in Australian theatres on December 12th, 2024.
