THE LORD OF THE RINGS: WAR OF THE ROHIRRIM
|
Can't Post

Maybe I missed it but I couldn't find any topic about this yet. Please correct me if I am wrong about this.
Let's talk about the upcoming anime movie The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim
Since this anime film is set within the canon of Peter Jacksons films I hope this section is the right place for it.
A lot of former team members of Jacksons films are involved like Philippa Boyens, WETA and Richard Taylor, John Howe, Alan Lee. New Line and Warner Bros. are involved too.
The anime film is set to be released to cinemas on April 12, 2024.
Here's a quite recent article from Variety:
https://variety.com/...ase-date-1235181646/
Set roughly two centuries before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings,” “The War of the Rohirrim” will explore the exploits of Helm Hammerhand, the King of Rohan, and the creation of Helm’s Deep, the stronghold featured in Peter Jackson’s “The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.”
There's even some first concept art featuring Edoras and the Rohirrim being besieged by armies of (what looks to me like) Orcs or even Uruks from Mordor and Haradrim on Műmakil. I can't remember anything about a siege of Edoras by Mordor and the Haradrim. Especially not 20 years before FOTR.
Didn't Helm Hammerhand "only" fought the Dunlendings? While Gondor fought against the Corsairs? I could see some Orcs from the Misty Mountains aiding Dunland but Haradrim on Műmakil in Rohan? Did Gondor fall asleep?
What do you think?

Thanks for the correction. Sorry somehow missed that one!

I just thought because of it's close BTS, design and canon connection to the LOTR trilogy and it being a movie for cinemas this would be the right place.

No. Some Corsairs invaded Rohan via the Lefnui and it was said to have also been attacked "from the east." Whether we'll see Sauron as being behind said invasions is unclear, but would dramatically effect the way The War of the Rohirrim sits within the context of the series as a whole.
An interesting project. I hasten to say that I don't have any proof, but it seems to me like Boyens had taken-over this production: it was fast-tracked last year and now its not out until 2024, with Philippa promoted to executive producer and the script seemingly being rewritten...by her daughter!
