I feel there are a number of followers who actually like Tolkien’s unique work, so I hope these folks will get pleasure from it. Making this film has been a enjoyable problem.”

The Battle of the Rohirrim stars Brian Cox because the voice of Helm Hammerhand, with Miranda Otto coming again to voice Eowyn, the function she performed in Peter Jackson’s live-action trilogy. Gaia Sensible (A Stroll within the Woods) will play Hera, who’s main the resistance towards a “lethal enemy intent on their whole destruction.”
