There’s an Indiegogo Campaign to Build a Life-size Replica of LOTR City Minas Tirith
Move over, 9 and 3/4 at London Kings Cross Station. There’s about to be another British attraction based on a popular fantasy series. A huge one. Like, really, really huge. If they can raise £1,850,000,000 (about $2.8 billion). And get the necessary planning permission. And sort out about a million other things that would prevent it from ever happening.
They’re trying to raise the money on Indiegogo to build a life-size (yes, life-size) replica of Minas Tirith, the capital of Gondor in Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. The city was beautifully realised in Peter Jackson’s Return of the King, but apparently just seeing it on the screen wasn’t enough.
Here at Dread Central we love crowdfunding as it truly gives a voice to independent creators, but this… I really don’t know if I should congratulate them on being as ambitious as possible or chastise them for doing the kind of nonsense that could bring about the end of crowdfunding.
