Apple Makes Worldwide Deal For Everest Sherpa Movie ‘Tenzing’ Starring Tom Hiddleston & Willem Dafoe
The film will chart the inspirational life of Sherpa Tenzing Norgay and his summit of Mount Everest in 1953 alongside Edmund Hillary.
A search is underway to cast the lead role of Tenzing Norgay who will star alongside BAFTA-nominated Tom Hiddleston( Loki) as Sir Edmund Hillary and four-time Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe ( Poor Things) 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. 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.
