Forth Eorlingas! Exciting Times Ahead for Middle-earth Fans
With The Rings Of Power’s return to our screens mere days away, and Andy Serkis’ intriguing The Hunt For Gollum movie looming on the horizon, Middle-earth is well and truly back on the menu. But among the projects based on J. R. R. Tolkien’s legendary fantasy series heading our way, perhaps most exciting — and certainly most unique — is Lord Of The Rings: War Of The Rohirrim, an upcoming anime movie set two centuries before Peter Jackson’s iconic trilogy.
The Plot Unfolds: War Of The Rohirrim
“All Middle-earth knows the tale of the War of the Ring,” narrates Miranda Otto’s Éowyn as we hear Brian Cox’s inimitable tones call Helm Hammerhand’s riders of The Mark, “but 200 years before that, there was an older tale.” Cue epic cavalry charges, giant eagles, majestic mumakil elephants, a glimpse of precious jewelry, and the stirrings of an imminent war as tensions rise between Rohan and Dunland.
Official Synopsis: The Fate of The House of Helm Hammerhand
“The Lord Of The Rings: The War Of The Rohirrim tells the fate of the House of Helm Hammerhand (Brian Cox), the legendary King of Rohan. A sudden attack by Wulf (Luke Pasqualino) 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. Héra (Gaia Wise), the daughter of Helm, must lead the resistance against a deadly enemy intent on their total destruction.”
