Architects seek $2.9 billion to build ‘Lord of the Rings’ city Minas Tirith in U.K.



  • Architects seek $2.9 billion to build ‘Lord of the Rings’ city Minas Tirith in U.K.

    Crowd-sourced projects with lofty aspirations are a dime a dozen, but Jonathan Wilson’s Indiegogo proposal is asking for many more dimes — nearly $2.9 billion — to build the “Lord of the Rings” city of Minas Tirith.

  • If the nearly $2.9 billion goal isn’t reached by the late-September deadline, no contributors will be charged the amount they pledged.
  • “We settled on Minas Tirith, as we felt it represented the most realistic and sustainable project.”
  • Living in England’s Worcestershire County, Wilson said he came up with the idea to build the city after watching a marathon of its corresponding movies with his friends.
  • In addition to posting updates on the Indiegogo page, Wilson is updating fans on project progress on Twitter, via his @RealiseMinas account.
