Directed by Kenji Kamiyama, "The War of the Rohirrim" is set 261 years before the epic events of "The Fellowship of the Ring." Starring Helm Hammerhand as the main character, the film is based on a story by J.R.R. Tolkien that is included in the appendices of "The Lord of the Rings."
Brian Cox voices the iconic King of Rohan, while Miranda Otto, who starred in Peter Jackson's film trilogy, returns to lend her voice to her original character Eowyn. In the new animated film, the king must defend his lands against an army of Dunlendings, in an origin story that reveals how the stronghold of Helm's Deep got its name.
Other cast members include Gaia Wise, Luke Pasqualino, Laurence Ubong Williams and Shaune Dooley.
