Tom Hiddleston is set to star as Sir Edmund Hillary in a new biopic about the 1953 Everest expedition, alongside Tibetan actor Genden Phuntsok as Sherpa mountaineer Tenzing Norgay. The film, directed by Jennifer Peedom, aims to restore Tenzing's achievement to the centre of the narrative and has been praised for its stunning cinematography capturing the majestic mountain landscapes.
