Fans can get ready to experience The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim in theaters with a new featurette. This animated epic, based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s characters, will be released in North American theaters on December 13 by New Line Cinema.

The two-minute behind-the-scenes video includes director Kenji Kamiyama, producers Philippa Boyens, Jason DeMarco, and Joseph Chou, as well as voice stars Gaia Wise and Laurence Ubong Williams. They discuss the challenges and rewards of adapting Tolkien’s Middle-earth into an anime feature, with footage of Peter Jackson visiting the team.

The featurette provides a synopsis of the film, set 183 years before the original trilogy, focusing on the fate of the House of Helm Hammerhand and the legendary King of Rohan, Helm. Héra, Helm’s daughter, must lead the resistance against a deadly enemy in a desperate battle at the Hornburg.
