The fantasy animation epic ‘The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim,’ which continues the universe of the global hit series ‘The Lord of the Rings,’ has changed its release date to January 25. Originally scheduled for the 28th, the release has been moved up to meet audiences sooner in the new year.
On the 9th, the distributor Warner Bros. Korea announced this news.
‘The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim’ tells the fateful story of the legendary battle between Helm, the great king of Rohan known as the Iron Fist, and the strong princess Hera, against the invasion of Dunland, set 200 years before the War of the Ring. It depicts the legendary heroes and king Helm, prince Haleth, and Hama, as well as the great war against Wolf, who led the Rohan dynasty and the Dunlendings, against the backdrop of Rohan, where the Battle of Helm's Deep took place in ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.’
Most notably, Peter Jackson, who was responsible for the screenplay and direction of the ‘The Lord of the Rings’ series, is producing, while Kenji Kamiyama, known for ‘Ghost in the Shell,’ is directing. This is a collaboration between two global giants. Additionally, Philippa Boyens, who co-wrote the original series with Peter Jackson, has joined in on the story and production, enhancing the film's quality.
The main poster released the day before features the strong princess Hera at its center, alongside her father Helm and the proud Rohirrim cavalry of Rohan, standing firm against the approaching enemy. Furthermore, the overwhelming presence of Wolf, the son of the lord of Westmark who instigated the war against them and now the lord of Dunland, exudes an aura that does not fall short of Rohan's strength, sparking curiosity about who will emerge victorious in the war.
Releasing on January 25.
