Lord of the Rings’ Anime Prequel


New Line is returning to the worlds of The Lord of the Rings.

The Warner Bros. movie division, which made the Rings trilogy and later adapted The Hobbit, has partnered with Warner Bros. Animation to produce an original anime set in Tolkien’s fantasy world.

Titled The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, the stand-alone feature will be directed by Kenji Kamiyama, an anime veteran who last directed the TV series Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, and produced by Joseph Chou. The two have worked on some of the biggest anime franchises over the years, including Knights of the Zodiac: Saint Seiya, Ultraman, and Appleseed, on top of Ghost in the Shell.

Rohirrim ties to the original trilogy, specifically the second installment, The Two Towers, by focusing on an untold story behind Helm’s Deep, the fortress at the center of the movie’s epic battle. The story will be set hundreds of years before that fateful war and, according to the announcement, tell of the life and bloodsoaked times of its founder, Helm Hammerhand, the king of Rohan.

In the first timeline, fourteen-year-old sisters Jade and Billie Wesker are moved to New Raccoon City. A manufactured, corporate town, forced on them right as adolescence is in full swing. But the more time they spend there, the more they come to realize that the town is more than it seems and their father may be concealing dark secrets. Secrets that could destroy the world.

Cut to the second timeline, well over a decade into the future: there are less than fifteen million people left on Earth. And more than six billion monsters — people and animals infected with the T-virus. Jade, now thirty, struggles to survive in this New World, while the secrets from her past – about her sister, her father and herself – continue to haunt her.

I like the Lance Reddick casting as Albert. Everyone else in this cast I'am just not feeling it. The plot sounds decent and on par.
 
That would anger a bunch of Lucas and Max fans.. including me. lol.

Stranger Things has a a TERRIFIC group of writers and producers. They seen the rumblings among reviews and fans on social media with season 3. I trust them which is saying a lot. lol.
I'm thinking that as compensation for the debacle that was Max's storyline in "Stranger Things #3" . . . give Lucas a love triangle of two pretty white girls to compete for his romantic attention.

Square Enix has shown off the Black Panther expansion for Marvel's Avengers.

During its E3 showcase, Square Enix released a new cinematic trailer that gives us a look at this upcoming free expansion.

 
The annual new video game showcases were this weekend and it struck me as to how creatively bereft most game makers are. Nearly every game is about "go here kill that", "go there kill those" rinse and repeat. I've been a video game player for 30+ years so I'm well aware that violence is the basis for a lot of games, but it seems lately that games are just about violence with nothing else going for them.

Yeah too much focus on graphics if you ask me and not enough on anything else.

But I suppose the lack of creativity is also just Videogames becoming more corporate.
