Academy Award winning Hollywood movie director Ang Lee has become the latest high profile name to become a consultant for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
Lee, 51, director of Brokeback Mountain and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, has been appointed art and culture consultant for the opening and closing ceremony of the Games in two years time.
Among the other creative talents involved in the project are Steven Spielberg and Chinese director Zhang Yimou.
Ironically, Brokeback Mountain – the tale of two gay cowboys – was banned in China.
