The Lord of the Rings film series is reportedly based on J.R.R. Tolkien's book, directed by Peter Jackson, and has won multiple Oscars.
Ian McLean, who plays the wizard Gandalf in the film, and Martin Freeman, who plays hobbit, have both joined the fundraising effort. They planned to transform the mansion where Tolkien had lived into a museum dedicated to the author of fantasy fiction.
Tolkien and his family moved to Oxford in 1930 and lived there for 17 years. At the time, Tolkien was an Anglo-Saxon professor of history and language at Oxford University. It was during this time that he composed most of the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
Despite Tolkien's worldwide reputation, there are no literary centres commemorating him in Britain or elsewhere. In The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, actor John Rees Davis, who plays the dwarf Kinley, said: "Our vision is to turn Tolkien's home into a literary hub that will inspire a new generation of writers, artists and filmmakers for many years to come." ”
