Zhang Yimou to Direct ‘Three-Body Problem’ Movie
Zhang Yimou, one of China's most successful directors, is to direct a movie adaptation of sci-fi hit ‘Three Body Problem’.
The project was announced Sunday by Wang Changtian, founder and CEO of Enlight Media, one of China’s top three studios, at a forum organized within the Shanghai International Film Festival. With a range that extends from intimate art-movies to comedies and martial arts, Zhang is one of China’s most prolific and successful directors and part of an elite club whose movies have grossed more than $1 billion. These include “To Live” (aka “Lifetimes”), which won the Grand Prix in Cannes in 2004, but was denied a theatrical release in China and 2014 tragedy-romance “Coming Home.” His drama “One Second,” adapted from a Yan Geling novel, was scheduled to have premiered at the Berlin film festival in 2019 but was pulled by Chinese authorities at the last minute.
