While the folks at Amazon Prime are working on their earlier age set Lord of the Rings series, Warner Bros. and New Line are looking to explore more of this world with an anime feature film called The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim.
The new film has Return of the King writer Philippa Boyens on board to consult with Kenji Kamiyama on board to direct it.
The anime pic will expand the untold story behind the fortress of Helm’s Deep, delving into the life and bloodsoaked times of Hammerhand.
The new project is being fast-tracked and at the moment doesn’t seem to involve Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh behind the live-action films, at least for now.
