Making A Scene: ‘3 Body Problem’ Cast and Crew Break Down the ‘Severance’ Influence, Epic ‘Bugs’ Reveal and What’s Next for the Series
The '3 Body Problem' cast and crew break down the major 'Severance' influence on the series, the epic 'bugs' reveal and what's next in the story.
Weiss and Alexander Woo first crafted the moment Jin Cheng (Jess Hong) and Thomas Wade (Liam Cunningham) enter the game in “ 3 Body Problem,” they made it so they “would put on the headset and then there’ll be a moment of black and then they go into the game.” But when they saw the scene cut together, they felt there was “something missing.” So for inspiration, they reached to another popular sci-fi series for inspiration: “Severance.” As part of Variety ‘s “Making a Scene” Cunningham, Hong, Benioff, Weiss and Woo were joined by “3 Body Problem” visual effects producer Steve Kullback and co-director Minkie Spiro to discuss how they brought the extraterrestrial thriller to life.
