The previously announced Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim movie revealed a set of preview images. Kenji Kamiyama (Blade Runner: Black Lotus) is directing the movie which will premiere later this year, on December 13. The cast for the movie includes:
- Gaia Wise as Hèra
- Brian Cox as Helm Hammerhand
- Miranda Otto as Eowyn
- Laurence Ubong Williams as Fréaláf Hildeson
- Luke Pasqualino as Wulf
- Shaun Dooley as Freca
Miranda Otto played Eowyn in the original Lord of the Rings trilogy. As The War of the Rohirrim takes place some 180 years before The Hobbit series, she will not be reprising her role and will instead serve as a narrator.
Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim follows the story of Helm Hammerhand, a legendary King of Rohan, Helm Hammerhand, the ancient king of Rohan, after whom the fortress of Helm’s Deep is named. Phoebe Gittins and Arty Papageorgiou are writing the script. Screenwriter Philippa Boyens, who worked on the original movie trilogy, is consulting. Sola Digital Arts animated the Blade Runner: Black Lotus series, which is also based on a literary classic.
The War of the Rohirrim movie is not related to Amazon’s Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power series, which premiered in 2022.
The movie was initially announced in 2021. The first look happened at today’s Annecy International Film Festival.
