‘Three-Body Problem’ Author’s Military Sci-Fi Story and Chinese Rural Literary Epic Being Adapted by ‘Black Dog’ Director Guan Hu (EXCLUSIVE)


Guan Hu is adapting 'The Three-Body Problem' author Liu Cixin's science fiction work 'Full-Spectrum Barrage Jamming' and a novel by Liu Zhenyun.

Liu Cixin’s “Full-Spectrum Barrage Jamming,” featured in the collection “To Hold Up the Sky,” dives into electronic warfare during a conflict between a resurgent Communist Russia and NATO forces. I felt like I was isolated and starting to be marginalized.” This sense of alienation helped shape the character played by Peng, who Guan describes as “not accepted by society, especially when the town is developing.” The filmmaker has also recently completed another large-scale production, “Dong Ji Dao,” a dramatization of the WWII incident in 1942, when Japanese ship “Lisbon Maru” carrying British POWs was torpedoed.
