Netflix just announced its plans to turn Cixin Liu’s 「The Three-Body Problem」 trilogy into an original, English-language science fiction series.

網飛公司宣布，計劃將劉慈欣的《三體》三部曲改編成一部原創的英文科幻電視劇。

The show will be executive produced and written by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss (the 「Game of Thrones」 showrunners signed a multi-year deal with Netflix last year that is reportedly worth more than $200 million), along with Alexander Woo, who previously served as showrunner for 「The Terror: Infamy.」

該劇將由《權力的遊戲》主創大衛·貝尼奧夫和D.B.魏斯攜手《急地惡靈》第二季製作人亞歷山大·伍共同擔任執行製片和編劇。大衛·貝尼奧夫和D.B.魏斯去年與網飛公司籤訂了一份多年合約，據報導價值超過2億美元（約合人民幣13.6億元）。

「The Last Jedi」 director Rian Johnson and his producing partner Ram Bergman are on board as executive producers, while Liu and his American translator Ken Liu will serve as consulting producers.

執導《星球大戰：最後的絕地武士》的萊恩·詹森和他的製片夥伴拉姆·伯格曼將擔任執行製片人，劉慈欣與英文譯者劉宇昆將擔任製片顧問。

「I have the greatest respect for and faith in the creative team adapting The Three-Body Problem for television audiences,」 said Cixin Liu in a statement. 「I set out to tell a story that transcends time and the confines of nations, cultures and races; one that compels us to consider the fate of humankind as a whole. It is a great honor as an author to see this unique sci-fi concept travel and gain fandom across the globe and I am excited for new and existing fans all over the world to discover the story on Netflix.」

劉慈欣在一份聲明中說：「我非常尊重並信任改編《三體》的電視劇版創作團隊。我書中講述了一個超越時間和國家、文化與種族界限的故事，它迫使我們考慮整個人類的命運。作為一名作家，我很榮幸能看到這個獨特的科幻概念在全球範圍內傳播並獲得書迷們的喜愛，我也很高興全球各地的新老粉絲能在網飛上看到這個故事。」

First serialized in China in 2006, 「The Three-Body Problem」 and its sequels 「The Dark Forest」 and 「Death’s End」 (the whole series is also known as 「Remembrance of Earth’s Past」) tell the story of humanity’s encounter with a mysterious alien race known as the Trisolarans. After its American publication in 2014, 「The Three-Body Problem」 was the first Asian novel to win science fiction’s Hugo Award and it attracted high-profile fans, including former President Barack Obama. The series has sold at least 8 million copies worldwide.

《三體》於2006年首次在中國連載，其續集《黑暗森林》和《死神永生》（整個系列原名《地球往事三部曲》）講述了人類遭遇神秘外星種族三體人的故事。自2014年在美國出版以來，《三體》是第一部獲得科幻小說雨果獎的亞洲小說，它吸引了包括美國前總統貝拉克·歐巴馬在內的眾多知名粉絲。這套叢書在全球至少賣出了800萬冊。

The trilogy is distinguished by its wildly inventive plotting, its detailed scientific extrapolation and its broad perspective, ultimately covering a vast swath of human history.

《三體》三部曲的突出之處在於其大膽創新的情節，詳細的科學推斷和廣闊的視角，最終涵蓋了人類歷史的一大部分。

「Liu Cixin’s trilogy is the most ambitious science-fiction series we』ve read, taking readers on a journey from the 1960s until the end of time, from life on our pale blue dot to the distant fringes of the universe,」 Benioff and Weiss said in a statement. 「We look forward to spending the next years of our lives bringing this to life for audiences around the world.」

貝尼奧夫和魏斯在聲明中稱：「劉慈欣的《三體》三部曲是我們讀過最宏大的科幻小說系列，它將讀者帶進從20世紀60年代一直到世界末日的旅程，從地球上的生命到遙遠的宇宙邊緣。我們期待用接下來的人生歲月，將這個作品呈現在全球觀眾的面前。」

Meanwhile, a cinematic adaptation of Liu’s novel 「The Wandering Earth」 was released last year and became one of China’s highest-grossing films of all time.

另外，根據劉慈欣所著的小說《流浪地球》改編的電影於去年上映，成為中國有史以來票房最高的電影之一。
