This year, fans ofThe Lord of the Ringshave much to look forward to on both the small and big screens. In addition to the second season of The Rings of Power, Middle-earth will embrace animation inThe Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim.
This prequel film is set about two centuries beforeBilbo Bagginsfound a certain little ring with the power to once again bring all of Arda to the brink of the abyss. Kenji Kamiyama, a prolific animator known for series like Eden of the East and Ghost in the Shell, directs this film with a screenplay by Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews.
The story centers on Héra, the daughter of Helm Hammerhand, the legendary King of Rohan. It is worth noting that this character does not exist as such in the Legendarium, as it is only mentioned that Helm had “a daughter,” without delving into too many details in Tolkien’s material.
