The quest for the One Ring will never end for fans of the saga about J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth, and these days online crowdfunding has also allowed fantasy lovers to get even more creative - and that's where this "Lord of the Rings" 2015 story comes to.
In a piece of news that would delight renowned "Lord of the Rings" 2015 fan Stephen Colbert (who recently said farewell to Jon Stewart from "The Daily Show"), a team of architects and fans of Tolkien's universe just created an Indiegogo campaign to build one of the cities of the saga, Minas Tirith.
According to CNBC, these architects, who come from Britain, are hoping to entirely recreate the "Lord of the Rings" 2015 city from scratch in their native country, having made an entire budget for the building of the fantasy city, from building costs to land, going to around $2 billion altogether.
As to where the real-life city of Minas Tirith would be located, the architects in question have already suggested two different locations in Southeast England.
IGN reports that the "Lord of the Rings" 2015 got off to a slow start in its first couple of weeks, but it's built up some momentum after the media realized this campaign was going on, which has obviously got a few fantasy fans excited - however, with about a month and a half left, they're not much closer to the goal, having only made about $93,000 so far, so it seems unlikely that two billion are on the way.
"We believe that, in realizing Minas Tirith, we can create not only the most remarkable tourist attraction on the planet, but also a wonderfully unique place to live and work," said the architects on their "Lord of the Rings" 2015 pledge, according to Time Magazine.
In case you want to donate for the "Lord of the Rings" 2015 campaign, you can go here - some of the rewards include earning nobility titles in the future city; and, if they're unable to meet the goal, the architects have said they'll give donors back their money.
