Tähän klassikkoon tuottaja vertaa elokuvaa The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollumia

Animaatioelokuva The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim on katsottavissa, mutta toki katse on jo tulevaisuudessa. The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum on tulossa vuonna 2026, ja tuottaja Philippa Boyens on verrannut elokuvan tunnelmaa Peter Jacksonin Sormuksen herran trilogian keskimmäiseen eli siis The Two Towersiin. Asiasta raportoi Slash Film.

Haasteena on, että tuleva tarina on osa jo kaikkien tuntemaa maailmaa, mutta samaan aikaan yllättääkin pitäisi.

"I think there's echo. There's definitely ... 'Two Towers,' it's not going to be 'Two Towers,' but the similarities, I think, is the bridging nature of the film. 'Two Towers' was one of the harder films to write because it is doing that, bridging the beginning. It is the middle film. It has a quality of that to it. But one thing that we are determined to do — and a lot of this is going to have to do with Andy Serkis as a director — is we want this to be different and to feel fresh. To exist within the world that has been established, but also to be surprising. And I think what's interesting is we are finding a lot of threads of story that are surprising in there when you really go in there and examine it."
