The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim Official Trailer

At long last here if the first trailer for The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim which will hit theaters on December 13. The animated movie acts as a sort of origin story for Helm's Deep. The synopsis says "Set 183 years before the events chronicled in the original trilogy of films, “The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim” tells the fate of the House of Helm Hammerhand, the legendary King of Rohan. A sudden attack by Wulf, a clever and ruthless Dunlending lord seeking vengeance for the death of his father, forces Helm and his people to make a daring last stand in the ancient stronghold of the Hornburg— a mighty fortress that will later come to be known as Helm’s Deep. Finding herself in an increasingly desperate situation, Héra, the daughter of Helm, must summon the will to lead the resistance against a deadly enemy intent on their total destruction."
