'The Lord of the Rings' cast is crowdfunding to buy J.R.R. Tolkien's home and turn it into a literary center
" (CNN)J.R.R. Tolkien's home in Oxford, England, is where Middle Earth was made. Where Bilbo Baggins first met Gandalf, and orcs and elves and hobbits sparred while one ring threatened to rule them all.
The house on Northmoor Road, where Tolkien penned "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, will soon hit the market. To preserve it for fans and writers, the actors who brought Tolkien's worlds to film are crowdfunding to buy it.
Actors including Gandalf himself, Ian McKellen, and Martin Freeman, who played Bilbo in "The Hobbit" films, have launched the "Project Northmoor" crowdfunding campaign to purchase Tolkien's home and transform it into a literary center in his honor.
If the campaign succeeds,the home where Tolkien lived from 1930 to 1947 will be the first center dedicated to the fantasy author anywhere in the world, said John Rhys-Davies, who played beloved dwarf Gimli in "The Lord of the Rings" series. "
