Warner Bros. Pictures has finally set a premiere date for its upcoming animated feature film, The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim.
Over the weekend, J.R.R. Tolkien fans got their first glimpse at The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, a new Amazon Prime Video original series. However, it’s not the only LOTR project on the horizon. Via Variety, Warner Bros. Animation and New Line Cinema have set a date for the animated film, The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim. It will now premiere in theaters on April 12, 2024.
The Rohirrim were fierce warriors who were introduced in The Two Towers, and they fought alongside Aragorn and the Fellowship at Helm’s Deep. The War of the Rohirrim will follow Rohan’s legendary king, Helm Hammerhand, and depict the creation of Helm’s Deep. Phoebe Gittins and Arty Papageorgiou wrote the screenplay based on a script by Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews. Gittins actually has a family connection to the original trilogy through her mother, Philippa Boyens, the co-writer of the films. Boyens is also attached to this project as an executive producer. LOTR makeup and visual effects artist Richard Taylor and Tolkien illustrator John Howe are also a part of the creative team for the new animated film.
