‘Lord of the Rings’ Anime to be produced

New Line Cinema, the studio where the trilogies ‘Lord of the Rings’ were made in, and Warner Bros. Animation have planned to make ‘The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim’ Anime.

The feature depicts a bloody war behind a fortress called Helm’s Deep. The fortress has its name from Helm Hammerhand, a legendary king who has been involved in a prolonged war all his life.

Kenji Kamiyama, the director of ‘Ultraman’ anime series, will direct ‘Lord of the Rings’ anime based on a screenplay co-written by Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews.

According to Variety “That project is set in the Second Age of Middle Earth, millennia before the events of the feature films; Helm Hammerhand’s reign, by contrast, unfolded roughly 260 years before the “LOTR” movies”.
