CLIMB MOUNT EVEREST IN TENZING MOVIE

Tom Hiddleston will be Sir Hillary

Tom Hiddleston is set as lead in new adventure movie TENZING about the inspirational life of Sherpa Tenzing Norgay and his summit of Mount Everest in 1953 alongside fellow outsider New Zealander Edmund Hillary. With Hiddleston as Sir Hillary, Willem Dafoe will star as the English expedition leader, Colonel John Hunt. 

 

Tibetan born Tenzing Norgay, alongside New Zealand mountaineer Edmund Hillary, both outsiders on a British Expedition, defied insurmountable odds to achieve what was once thought impossible, reaching the summit of the world’s tallest mountain, Mount Everest. After six previous attempts, Tenzing risked everything for one final venture. He had to navigate treacherous politics and perilous weather as he embarked on the most significant climb of his life. Through it all, he did so with humor, warmth, and generosity towards his fellow climbers, but also deep reverence and respect for the sacred Mother Goddess of his Mountain, Chomolungma. The actor who will play Tenzing has not been cast yet.
