DIRECTOR EXCLUSIVE
The Magic Number
3 Body Problem director Derek Tsang reveals how he adapted China’s modern science fiction classic The Three-Body Problem
WORDS: TARA BENNETT
“Yes, it’s great, but does it get Sky Sports?”
NEW SERIES 3 BODY Problem marks the return of David Benioff and DB Weiss (aka D&D) to genre television after some down time following eight seasons of showrunning Game Of Thrones. It’s also the first collaboration for the pair with executive producer Alexander Woo (The Terror).
More importantly for fans of contemporary sci-fi literature, this adaptation of Liu Cixin’s Hugo and Nebula award-winning novel The Three-Body Problem is an opportunity for mainstream audiences to discover the book that put Chinese science fiction on international radars when it was translated into English in 2014.
