Warner Bros. has released an eight minutes long preview of animated The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim [LOTR4] based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. Miranda Otto [MOTTO] reprises her role as Éowyn, Shieldmaiden of Rohan to narrate the film directed by Kenji Kamiyama. The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim opens in theaters on December 13th.
Set 183 years before the events chronicled in the original trilogy of films, “The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim” tells the fate of the House of Helm Hammerhand, the legendary King of Rohan. A sudden attack by Wulf, a clever and ruthless Dunlending lord seeking vengeance for the death of his father, forces Helm and his people to make a daring last stand in the ancient stronghold of the Hornburg— a mighty fortress that will later come to be known as Helm’s Deep. Finding herself in an increasingly desperate situation, Héra, the daughter of Helm, must summon the will to lead the resistance against a deadly enemy intent on their total destruction.
