By August Tales

Here’s news that’s firing up die-hard Lord of The Rings fans. This year, the silver screen welcomes a new gem from the franchise. An anime film, The War of The Rohirrim, hits theaters on December 13. This animated epic explores an uncharted era in Middle Earth’s history to build anticipation for this magical release. The creators of the film have a magnificent surprise. They’ve roped in a big celebrity for the New York Comic-Con panel.

The War of The Rohirrim Plans a Throwback

Unlike the familiar tales of Bilbo, Frodo, and Gandalf, The War of The Rohirrim offers something different. Rewinding the clock by 183 years, it tells a story predating Frodo and Sam’s expedition to incinerate the one ring. The focus shifts to a legendary king, Helm Hammerhead. He ruled Rohan and made a name in the grand battles of Helm’s Deep. This locale features heavily in the second live-action film of the Lord of The Rings trilogy, Two Towers.

From Late-Night Talk Show to Comic-Con Host

Now to the name you’ve been waiting for. Late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert takes the aisle at New York Comic-Con. Launching the panel for The Lord of The Rings: The War of The Rohirrim, Colbert brings his pop culture love to the forefront. Marvel even gifted him a replica of Captain America’s shield, a prized possession on his set for years.

Supporting Colbert at the panel are director Kenji Kamiyama and producers Philippa Boyens, Jason Demarco, and Joseph Choue. Screenwriters Phoebe Gittins and Arty Papageorgiou join the team, along with cast members Brain Cox, Gaia Wise, and Luke Pasqualino.

New Projects in the Lord of The Rings Pipeline

Amazon Video’s latest hit, The Lord of The Rings: The Rings Of Power, enjoys immense popularity. Though a third-season confirmation is awaited, fans are drawn to intriguing rumors swirling about another upcoming film. The Lord of The Rings: The Hunt For Gollum sees Andy Serkis returning as Gollum. Word is Ian McKellen might reprise his role as Gandalf. However, official confirmation is still pending.

Anime- The New Frontier

The rising popularity of anime has prompted many North American franchises to explore this medium. Terminator Zero, an anime adaptation streaming on Netflix, is a prime example. Batman, The Suicide Squad, Star Wars’ Jedi and Sith, and Marvel’s superheroes are all embracing the anime wave. If you’re keen on The Lord of The Rings take on anime, stay hooked to Team Anime’s updates on Augusttales.com.
