US - The film was screened at Annecy, where Japanese
animator and director Kenji Kamiyama made his debut with a 20-minute preview. The Lord of the
Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, is headed to theaters this Christmas. And during a panel at Annecy, it
was announced that Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh are executive producers on the
project.
The movie introduces
a headstrong princess Héra of Rohan and is influenced by the films of Peter
Jackson and Fran Walsh. This new movie is the first to feature a female
protagonist - a headstrong young woman named Hèra (Gaia Wise), who rides horses
and who communes with the Great Eagles. Her father is Helm Hammerhand (voiced
with typical brio by Brian Cox), who Helm's Deep would eventually be named
after. Hèra rejects the hand of Wulf (Luke Pasqualino), whose father Freca
(Shaun Dooley) challenges Helm to a fight. It doesn't end well for Freca.
