The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim will be directed by Kenji Kamiyama, who started as an animator in such classic films as Jin-Roh: The Lord of the Rings:
Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews (the incredibly underrated The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance) will write the screenplay, while Oscar-winner Philippa Boyens, who co-wrote the original Lord of the Rings movies, will return to consult on the project.
Warner Bros. Animation and New Line Cinema are putting a lot of weight on this project, as the press release states that it is "being fast-tracked for the big screen." Indeed, animation work and voice casting is already underway.
