The release of animated film The Lord of the Rings: The Rohirrim War will be delayed

Since the Hollywood writers' strike, major studios have been adjusting their distribution strategies. Recently, the animated film "The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim" announced that it would postpone its release in North America from the original April 12, 2024 to December 13 of the same year, which is a chain reaction of the rescheduling of a series of Warner films ("Dune 2" and "Godzilla vs. Kong 2").

"The Lord of the Rings: The Rohirrim War" is directed by Kenji Kamiyama ("Ghost in the Shell", "Blade Runner: Black Lotus"), with a script written by Geoffrey Addis & Will Matthews ("The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance"), and live-action film screenwriter Philippa Boyens serving as a consultant. It is closely related to the film trilogy (especially the second one "The Two Towers"), telling the little-known story behind the Battle of Helm's Deep. It is set 183 years before the events of "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, focusing on the life of King Helm Hammerhand of Rohan and that bloody era.
