Netflix android, Production company

New Line Cinema, the studio behind the Oscar-winning 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy and 'The Hobbit', is teaming up with Warner Bros. Animation for the original anime movie 'The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim'.As per Variety, veteran anime filmmaker Kenji Kamiyama, who helmed Netflix's 'Ultraman' anime series, will direct the film from a screenplay by Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews. Joseph Chou is producing the upcoming project.The stand-alone feature will depict the bloody saga behind Helm's Deep, the fortress depicted in 'The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers', and the man in whose honour it's named: Helm Hammerhand, the legendary King of Rohan who spent much of his reign locked in a prolonged and costly war.While the filmmaking team is new to 'The Lord of the Rings' movie franchise, the project is intended to be connected to director Peter Jackson's six Middle Earth films based on the books of J.R.R. Tolkien.Philippa Boyens, who won an Oscar for the screenplay for 'The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King', is consulting on the project, which will also draw its aesthetic and narrative inspiration from the 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy.'The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim' is not, however, connected to Amazon's gargantuan 'The Lord of the Rings' series that is deep into production in New Zealand. That project is set in the Second Age of Middle Earth, millennia before the events of the feature films; Helm Hammerhand's reign, by contrast, unfolded roughly 260 years before the 'LOTR' movies.With Amazon's series looming, New Line and Warner Animation are fast-tracking their feature, with animation at Sola Entertainment and voice casting already underway. The six Middle Earth features have grossed over USD 5.8 billion worldwide for Warner Bros., and it would appear the studio is not content ceding its claim to Tolkien's creative territory to Amazon.Warner Bros. Pictures will distribute the project worldwide.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
