The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim is an upcoming animated fantasy film directed by Kenji Kamiyama from a screenplay by Phoebe Gittins and Arty Papageorgiou, based on the novel The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien. It is produced by New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. Animation with animation production by Sola Entertainment. A prequel set 183 years before the events depicted in the 2002 film The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, it stars Brian Cox as Helm Hammerhand, a legendary King of Rohan. Also starring is Miranda Otto, reprising her role as Éowyn from the live-action The Lord of the Rings film trilogy.

 

Development of the film was announced in June 2021, with the involvement of Kamiyama, consultant Philippa Boyens (who co-wrote The Lord of the Rings film trilogy), and initial writers Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews. Animation work had begun by then, taking visual inspiration from the live-action films. Gittins and Papageorgiou were working on the script by February 2022.

 

The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim will be released in the United States on December 13, 2024, by Warner Bros. Pictures.

Zitat

Gallagher is probably best-known to Tolkien fans for his work on The Hobbit where, as well as working as music editor on all three films, he composed the songs ‘Blunt the Knives’ and ‘The Torture Song’ for An Unexpected Journey.

Der Threadtitel ist noch etwas wild.

 

Hm, da nimmt man nun also den Weg jemand aus dem Kreis der Musik für die bisherigen Filme zu nehmen, wenn man Howard Shore nicht bekommt. Wobei die beiden humorvollen Songs aus dem ersten Hobbit-Film von ihm nun keine Rückschlüsse ziehen lassen, was man hier von ihm erwarten kann.

Den Tippfehler im Titel wird @horner1980 sicher korrigieren? 🙂 Danke!

Zur Musik: Ich glaube, man hat Shore gar nicht gefragt. Aber schon bemerkenswert, dann jemanden aus der zweiten (dritten? vierten?) Reihe zu nehmen. Gallagher ist ja nahezu völlig unbekannt. Man hätte ja auch Newman (TOLKIEN) oder McCreary (RING OF POWERS) fragen können ... Offenbar gab es aber entweder kein Interesse an einem großen Namen oder kein Geld.

Danke für die Korrektur des Tippfehlers, @Alexander Grodzinski.
