Lord of the Rings Series Episode 7

Jakob, Arnie, and Stuart find that Middle-Earth looks very different after Peter Jackson hands The Lord of the Rings over to Japanese animator Kenji Kamiyama for a 2024 theatrical prequel. King Helm (Brian Cox) earns the nickname Hammerhand, and accidentally starts The War of the Rohirrim, after he throws down with a shady lord trying to marry into his family. Is it a Brave choice to let unsung daughter Hera step up and protect her people from fire and armed conflict without seeking fellowship from more recognizable hobbits, dwarves and elves? Find out now!
