Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit actors set out to save JRR Tolkien’s house

A number of actors from Peter Jacksons The Hobbit– in The Lord of the Ringstrilogies have teamed up with a crowdfunding campaign to buy the late JRR Tolkien’s home in Oxford and turn it into a literary hub around the fantasy author.

The intention is to raise at least six million dollars and possibly also finance renovation work and the construction of a hobby house in the garden.

Ian McKellen (Gandalf), John Rhys-Davies (Gimli) and Martin Freeman (Bilbo), among others, support the initiative with a video on Twitter. Also Derek Jacobi, who played in the biopic Tolkien, is doing its part.

“The idea is to turn Tolkien’s home into a literary meeting place and inspire new generations of writers, artists and filmmakers,” says Rhys-Davies.
