“Three-Body Problem” Chinese Theatrical Poster
Jules Verne, eat your heart out! A big budget film based on Liu Cixin’s best selling science fiction novel of the same name is currently in production.
The upcoming thriller, titled Three-Body Problem, stars William Feng (White Vengeance, Young Detective Yee) and Zhang Jing Chu (Switch, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation).
Here’s the novel’s plot description, via Amazon: Set against the backdrop of China’s Cultural Revolution, a secret military project sends signals into space to establish contact with aliens. An alien civilization on the brink of destruction captures the signal and plans to invade Earth. Meanwhile, on Earth, different camps start forming, planning to either welcome the superior beings and help them take over a world seen as corrupt, or to fight against the invasion.
Three-Body Problem is scheduled for release in 2017. If that’s not enough, a sequel is already in the works. We expect a trailer to be hitting the net soon, so stay tuned!
