The production of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Powerfor which amazon million was spent solely on rights, it seems to have been an incentive for Warner. The work of JRR Tolkien has continued to expand through cinema after the historic major would have had a cinematographic monopoly with its trilogies of The Lord of the rings and The Hobbitso the directive David Zaslav Try to regain the front line of the battle now. That is why he has embarked on the development of new films set in the Middle Earthbeing the most popular to date an upcoming spin-off of Gollum.
Andy Serkis would direct and star The Hunt for Gollum (a project that has already had some controversy due to the rejection of followers and a pre-existing fan film in Youtube which has the same title… and would tell a similar story), but this is not the first project that Warner has launched in the wake of the blow to Amazon’s table. On the contrary, it has been developing for some time The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrimand the most striking thing about this film is not only that it is animated, but that it has a markedly anime. This is what explains the presence in front of Kenji Kamiyama.
Kamiyama, member of the study Production IGhas directed films such as Ancien and the magical world while developing franchises as extensive as Ghost in the Shell, Blade Runner (where he made the short Black Lotus) either Star Warsfor whose anthology Visions He delivered The ninth Jedi. The Japanese artist is the director of The Rohirrim Warand while there may have been doubts that this film was actually going to be a animethese were completely cleared during the Annecy International Animation Festival. On a recent day of this French competition, held from June 4 to 15a 20-minute preview of The Rohirrim War. And it is a anime pure and hard.
As proof we have the first images, taken from an evening where Serkis appeared to promote The Hunt for Gollumand the presence at the head of The Rohirrim War of Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens as executive producers after their successful trilogies live action. The Rohirrim War It is therefore set 180 years before The Lord of the ringsdedicated to telling the story of that Helm’s abism where the most spectacular battle of The two Towers.
With what the story of the warrior must be told Helm Hand Hammeralthough it seems that the true protagonist of The Rohirrim War It will be Hèra, his daughter. Gaia Wise is the dubbing performer, her character having to face the threat of Wulf (Luke Pasqualino), a renegade human who leads the Dunledins as enemies of Rohan. Brian Cox doubles Helm as king of this region, and it seems that we will also have Helm back Miranda Otto as voice of Éowyn after playing her in Jackson’s films. So it’s quite likely that part of the story of The Rohirrim War is presented as a flashback narrated by Rohan’s maid.
The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim It is scheduled to premiere this December 13thand if it works at the box office it could be an incentive for Warner to bet on more projects dedicated to Middle Earth as attractive as this one.
