'The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim' Anime Film Will Be a Companion Piece to the 'Lord of the Rings' Trilogy - /FILM

The Lord of the Rings saga will continue with the standalone anime film The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim.

New Line Cinema and Warner Bros.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy is a monumental achievement in cinema – a sweeping, truly epic saga that won oodles of Oscars and broke the box office bank.

Instead, let’s talk about The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, a new standalone anime feature coming from New Line Cinema and Warner Bros.

The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim will be a companion piece to Peter Jackson’s live-action trilogy, with “story and artistic elements woven throughout that will reconnect fans to the excitement and cinematic wonder of Middle-earth.” Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews (The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance) are handling the script, with Philippa Boyens, one of the writers of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, serving as a consultant on the project.

Animation. The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim is being fast-tracked for the big screen, with animation work at Sola Entertainment and voice casting currently underway.

I’m not the biggest anime fan, but I love the Lord of the Rings trilogy, so I’m all-in on this. The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim isn’t the only new Lord of the Rings title on the way – Amazon is also making a very expensive Lord of the Rings TV series which is set to arrive sometime this year
