The movie based on the award-winning novel "The Three Body Problem" has just finished filming earlier this month, after five months of hard work in the snow-crested Lesser Xing'an Mountains in northeast China. Written by Chinese author Liu Cixin, the novel is the first Chinese sci-fi work to win the Hugo Award for Best Novel last Sunday. The award is considered a breakthrough for Chinese sci-fi literature.

I am really intrigued by a film version of this novel--I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Three Body Problem (although I do need to finish the sequel soon).

It's good the Chinese are taking a Crack at it first.

The sequel is also planned as a movie.

Completely agreed. I am actually curious to see how they treat the Cultural Revolution scenes in the movie version.

They must mean 2017. Looks interesting, though.

Pretty sure they mean 2016. They wrapped up filming in September 2015 and post production was to last almost a year.

I can't imagine this not being the best or one of the top SF movis of the year.

The novel popped up on Obama's summer reading list a few months ago.

I'm pretty sure that's the first time a sitting President has ever plugged one of Tor's books!

And, yes, there was much rejoicing at the Flatiron Building, I'm told.

I've had the book over a year and just read it recently. I noticed it was popping up all over like in Zuckerberg's book club(and the book's English translator chimed in on his FB post). I was surprised to find out that they've been working on a movie adaptation and that Western artists and a large scale FX company are working on it, but I really shouldn't be...the novel has been out in China for over a decade.

Oh, okay. Maybe it's an older clip. The narrator makes it sound like they just finished filming, and then they talk about a year in post-production.

Thanks for that.

Wow, I really loved the book & its sequel. I had no idea that there was a movie in the works. I hope that they do it justice.
