I'm excited to see more news for this movie as I think it's been relatively quiet. I hope that they will have a 'in memorial of Bernard Hill' since even though he wasn't going to be in this movie, but since this is about the Rohirrim, it would be fitting.

It would be quite fitting, indeed. As for this project, as much as I am willing to give it a chance, I think it's a wasted opportunity, this should have been live action. I don't have much experience with animes, I know it's a beloved art form, but I think this medium is not right for Tolkien ( I never watched the Ralph Bakshi's animations). After the visual spectacle of PJ's trilogies, this seems to me like a step back, but I may be wrong. Anyway, I'm still going to give it a chance, and the fact that Miranda Otto's Eowyn is back as narrator and Brian Cox is voicing Helm Hammerhand is quite exciting!

It's definitely a different way of storytelling

but I am looking forward to it. I think bringing back Miranda Otto is amazing and Brian Cox is also an excellent actor.
I think back when Wakanda Forever was released, they did a great job of having 'in memory of' Chadwick Boseman, so I think they could definitely do something like that in honor of Bernard Hill, since he was such an amazing actor and he was our King Theoden.

I'm not normally the fatalistic type, but so much of The Lord of the Rings' production feels like it was just meant to be, and this is another of those serendipitous occasions.

So, reactions to the 20+ minute segment of The War of the Rohirrim shown an Annecy seem to be pretty positive. We've gotten three screen shots from the film, a pre-Annecy interview with Philippa Boyans, and a few news items.
- We learn that Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh are Executive Producers for the film.
- Benjamin Wainwright is voicing Haleth, Helm Hammerhand's eldest son, while the younger son Hama is voiced by Yazdan Qafouri.
- A lot of thought has gone into the design of the film.
- Stephen Gallagher's score plays off of themes from Howard Shore's music for LotR.
There are already several nice articles about the screening at the TORn homepage: https://www.theonering.net/torwp/

Oh! I'd forgotten. It also seems that the film will have a runtime of 2 hours, 30 minutes. That's quite long for an animated film.

Question about Behind the Voice Actors site
[In reply to]

Okay, I tried to submit casting information for The War of the Rohirrim to the site Behind the Voice Actors (HALETH Voiced by BENJAMIN WAINWRIGHT and HAMA voiced by YAZDAN QAFOURI). The submission was rejected for not being correctly formatted. Fair enough; their submission procedure is relatively laborious.
My issue arose when I tried to leave a simple, short post with the casting update in the comments section on the site's page for The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim. THE POST WAS DELETED FROM THE COMMENTS for not being properly formatted for submission. How is a simple, imformative note in a comments section not appropriate for the comments? Have the mods for Behind the Voice Actors always had such a big stick up their backsides? All I know is that the site is not worth any more of my time or effort.
