Iconic sci-fi novel to become TV drama
Print Edition
China is turning Liu Cixin鈥檚 Hugo Award-winning sci-fi novel 鈥淭he Three-Body Problem鈥 into a live-action TV drama although the release date has yet to be unveiled.
The upcoming TV drama, known as 鈥淭hree-Body,鈥 is on the list of several dozen dramas to be released by Tencent Video, a major Chinese online streaming platform.
A concept poster and a list of major cast members, including director Yang Lei, has been unveiled by Tencent Penguin Pictures.
鈥淭he Three-Body Problem鈥 is the first book of a sci-fi trilogy that revolves around physicist Ye Wenjie鈥檚 contact with the Trisolaran civilization living in a three-sun system, and the following centuries-long clashes between earthlings and aliens.
Chinese sci-fi fans are looking forward to the adaptation of the critically acclaimed trilogy into movies and TV dramas. An animated adaptation of 鈥淭he Three-Body Problem鈥 was inaugurated last year as a project by the Chinese online video sharing platform Bilibili and is scheduled to be released online in 2021.
鈥淭he Wandering Earth,鈥 another sci-fi novel by Liu, was turned into a 2019 blockbuster film that generated a box office revenue of 4.68 billion yuan (US$670 million) on the Chinese mainland.
