It is also one of the best large-scale battles that have ever been put to the big screen.

Talking about the latest addition to The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The War of the Rohirrim, Warner Bros. Animation head Sam Register said. “We’re honoured to partner with much of the incredible talent behind both film trilogies, along with new creative luminaries to tell this story. And so it begins.”

If you wonder whether watching this new Lord of the Rings addition would be worth it, you should know that Kenji Kamiyama is not a newbie. He began as an animator in classic films like Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade and Akira. You might also know him as the director of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. Philippa Boyens, who will consult on the project, is an Oscar winner and had co-written the original Lord of the Rings movies. Elsewhere in the world of entertainment, have you seen Loki yet?
