Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle is leading the way at China's most prestigious film festival - he has been asked to chair the jury at next month's (Jun09) event.

The Oscar-winning moviemaker will head the board at the 12th Shanghai International Film Festival along with actress Andie MacDowell and fellow director Andrew Lau.

The trio will decide which movie is handed the coveted Jin Jue Award.

The Shanghai festival will take place from 13 June to 21 June (09).

Danny Boyle is still riding the wave of his massive Oscar success earlier this year when his rags to riches movie Slumdog Millionaire scooped Best Picture and Best Director for the filmmaker.

Since his Academy Award win Boyle has been inundated with offers of work linked to the twenty third Bond movie and the remake of classic musical My Fair Lady.
