Watch the first 8 minutes from new Lord of the Rings film War of the Rohirrim

Coming up next weekend, “The War of the Rohirrim” – a fresh take on the “Lord of the Rings” saga, set 183 years before the familiar tale – will hit the big screens. This animated film follows Helm Hammerhand (portrayed by Brian Cox), the king of Rohan, who finds himself under siege by a Dunlending lord named Wulf (Luke Pasqualino). In a desperate bid for safety, he seeks refuge in the Hornburg, a fortress that will eventually become famous as Helm’s Deep.
