BRICK BY BRICK GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL COMES TO LIFE
Time Lapsed Video Documenting The Creation Of The Grand Budapest Hotel
When you combine a Lego Enthusiast and fan of Wes Anderson along with over 50,000 Lego’s 20 days, 575 hours and a team of 10. You get a replica of Fox Searchlight Pictures The Grand Budapest Hotel!!
The model weighs in somewhere around 150 pounds, stands an impressive 7 feet tall and was first unveiled at the Los Angeles Gove on June 14th. Not quite sure where the reproduction hung out for a few days but on June 17th it headed over to the Twentieth Century Fox Lot for the release of the Blue-ray and DVD . Zero the Lobby Boy in the film accompanied the replica and was such a nice addition to the release party so to speak. The dust may have settled over here on the lot from the viewing but the movie is still flying off the shelves of the Fox Studio Store!!
THAT’S ONE BIG BUCKET OF LEGOS
34-year–old Ryan Ziegelbauer Lego enthusiast heals from San Diego, California (wonder if he works at Legoland) and is a big fan of Wes Anderson and the film The Grand Budapest Hotel.
Ryan was excited to use the color pink, which he had not used before he placed special orders for the color from around the world. Soon pink bricks came flooding in from – Poland, Germany and Italy as well as the US just to mention a few locations.
This was some sight to see!!! Don’t worry if you didn’t catch the display at the Grove, the masterpiece will be on display at the Architect and Design Museum in Los Angeles through August 31st.
