'Three-Body Problem' movie: After Netflix show, Chinese director to make movie

"Three-Body Problem" will be adapted as a film and the movie will be directed by China's one of the successful directors Zhang Yimou. Zhang Yimou has begun preparations for the film.

On Sunday, Wang Changtian, founder and CEO of Enlight Media, one of China's leading film studios, announced the ambitious "The Three-Body Problem" project at a forum during the Shanghai International Film Festival. This high-profile adaptation of the acclaimed science fiction series is set to draw significant attention both domestically and internationally.

Zhang Yimou has directed films such as "The Wandering Earth", 'Hero', "House of Flying Daggers", "Full River Red".


The 2008 novel, written by Chinese author Liu Cixin, serves as the inaugural installment of a celebrated trilogy.
