BEIJING,
Dec. 7 -- Film Director Sherwood Hu's "Prince of the Himalayas" has entered the
running for next year's Golden Globe Awards with five Foreign Film nominations.
The film is a Tibetan version of William
Shakespeare's famous tragedy "Hamlet," and follows the footsteps of Feng
Xiaogang's "The Banquet."
The film's hero is played by Tibetan actor Purba
Rgyal, who won the first national "Lycra My Hero" TV show, a manhunt competition
broadcast live in Shanghai this summer.
The Golden Globe Jury has reportedly given the film
high praise, saying "there are few Tibetan movies to compete and it is really
stunning."
Director Sherwood Hu has revealed his next film will
be based in Shanghai and Purba Rgyal also play the lead.
