"New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. Animation have announced they are developing an anime feature film called The War of the Rohirrim. Directed by Kenji Kamiyama, it will be set over 250 years before the main events of The Lord of the Rings during the tumultuous reign of Helm Hammerhand, the legendary King of Rohan."

I'm really interested, how a animated movie can show Tolkiens Middle-Earth in a proper way...

I mean the story of Helm Hammerhand would also translate well to that art-style, specifically the more gore-based nature of it all:

Lets' see

• Punched a man so hard that he died in one blow
• Heavy racism overtones regarding "purity" to do with Dunlending vs Rohirrim (Hammerhand himself being racist, not Author in b4 that discussion starts)
• "Defence" of Helms Deep which was basically self-isolation whislt the rest of Rohan was burned by Wulf in revenge.
• Helm descending into madness as the deep runs low on food
• Suspected cannibalism by soldiers within Helms Deep
• Helm Hammerhand goes out Shining style into the cold and freezes to death

Helm is One Punch Man, after all.
