The War of the Rohirrim cast and crew explain what makes new Lord of the Rings movie special

In approximately two weeks, a new animated film titled “The War of the Rohirrim” based on the world of “The Lord of the Rings” will be released in theaters. This movie takes place around 100 years before the main storyline and focuses on a conflict which eventually results in the creation of Helm’s Deep, a fortress that played a significant role in Peter Jackson’s movie “The Two Towers“. As this is less well-known material within the lore, you might be wondering why producer Philippa Boyens, who co-wrote the original “Lord of the Rings” film trilogy with Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh, thought it was suitable for a movie adaptation.
