VIDEO: Fictional movie hotel built out of LEGO

A fictional hotel which featured prominently in one of this year’s most well-received movies has been recreated using Lego.

The Grand Budapest Hotel was released earlier this year, starring Ralph Fiennes, Edward Norton, Bill Murray and Saoirse Ronan.

To mark the release of the film on Blu-ray and DVD, studio Fox Searchlight commissioned a team of nine model builders to construct the model entirely out of Lego.

This video below goes through the process the construction of the Lego hotel, which took the team 575 hours to build, using more than 50,000 pieces.
