Venture to Middle Earth with Popcorn Podcast and The War of the Rohirrim co-writers Arty Papageorgiou and Phoebe Gittins. The duo takes us behind the scenes of their new original film that reawakens JRR Tolkienâs The Lord of the Rings in a way we havenât seen before â as anime â with a story inspired by part of an appendix Tolkien wrote detailing the history of Rohanâs rulers. In our chat, we discover how Papageorgiou and Gittins convinced Miranda Otto to reprise her role as Eowyn; why hero Hera is so much more than a warrior princess; and why anime was the only approach to do this epic adventure justice â plus, stick around for a tease about their highly-anticipated next project, The Hunt For Gollum.
