Set 180 years before The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, War of the Rohirrim tells the story of the warrior King Helm Hammerhand. Ruling over the lands of Rohan, the King is facing a terrible threat from the wild Dunlendings who are raising an army to unseat him. But from the stronghold at Helm’s Deep, the ninth King of Rohan and the Rohirrim face down their erroneous enemy.
Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim is an upcoming animated fantasy movie set within the Lord of the Rings franchise. It is based on the novel The Lord of the Rings written by J. R. R. Tolkien. The movie is produced by New Line Cinemas, Warner Bros. Animation, and Sola Entertainment. The movie is directed by Japanese anime director, Kenji Kamiyama who is best known for his work on Akira, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Blade Runner: Black Lotus, and Star Wars: Visions. The movie is written by Phoebe Gittins and Arty Papageorgiou from a story by Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews.
Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim stars Brian Cox in the leading role as Helm Hammerhand, the King of Rohan. He is joined by Miranda Otto who stars as Eowyn, reprising her role from the original The Lord of the Rings movies. Luke Pasqualino voices Wulf, the leader of the Dunlendings. Laurence Ubong Williams stars as Frealaf Hildeson. Shaun Dooley voices Freca, a Dunlending lord. The cast also includes Michael Wildman, Benjamin Wainwright, Yazdan Qafouri, Lorraine Ashbourne, Jude Akuwudike, Bilal Hasna, and Janine Duvitski.
This animated Lord of the Rings movie is based on appendices in the original Lord of the Rings books written by J. R. R. Tolkein. These appendices tell the history of the rulers of Rohan and their multiple battles.
The story being told in the movie is set 183 years before The Fellowship of the Ring. It is connected to the original trilogy directed by Peter Jackson due to the casting of Miranda Otto who voices Eowyn, the narrator of the movie. Eowyn is narrating the story from a point after the original trilogy, so while the bulk of the story is happening in the past, the telling of the story is occurring much later.
This movie is not connected to the Amazon Prime series, The Rings of Power. Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim is produced by New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. Animation and therefore is set in the same world as the Peter Jackson trilogy.
The wizard Gandalf is not cast in the movie though his character is technically alive during the events of War of the Rohirrim. In this moment in the timeline, Gandalf is in the shire living among the Hobbits and learning their ways.
