Warner Bros. Animation and New Line Cinema announced that Kenji Kamiyama (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Blade Runner: Black Lotus, Eden of the East) will direct the feature film The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, set in the world of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth. The film is being produced by New Line Cinema in collaboration with Warner Bros. Animation. Sola Entertainment will animate the film, and Warner Bros. Pictures will distribute it.

The film is described as an anime feature that "depicts a legendary battle that helped shape Middle-earth and set the stage" for Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. It "explores and expands the untold story behind the fortress of Helm's Deep and delves into the life and blood-soaked times of one of Middle-earth's most legendary figures: the mighty King of Rohan—Helm Hammerhand."
