‘3 Body Problem’ Helmer Derek Tsang Bullish on Asian Co-Productions Despite Market Struggles


Derek Tsang sees co-productions as the future for Asian film, with regional partnerships and grants helping overcome post-pandemic challenges.

In 2021, the news broke that he would direct and co-executive produce Netflix’s adaptation of Liu Cixin’s science-fiction trilogy, “3 Body Problem” for David Benioff and D.B. “On the other hand, I do believe co-production is another way forward; what kind of stories can filmmakers in Hong Kong find that resonate or work with other regions. Local talents and stories will continued to be nurtured and told, I have no doubt in that, but to develop and grow, we need to set our eyes further beyond our city,” Tsang added.
