Premiere of Film based on Acclaimed Sci-fi Novel 'The Three-Body Problem' Pushed Back until 2017

(Beijing) – The release date for a movie adaptation of a bestselling Chinese science-fiction novel has been postponed to 2017 due to delays in post-production, the filmmaker said, but angry fans pinned the blame on what they said was an inexperienced team handling the project.

The big screen adaptation of The Three-Body Problem, a novel by Liu Cixin that won the prestigious Hugo Award in 2015, was scheduled to premiere in July, but it has been postponed until next year, Yoozoo Pictures, the filmmaker, said in a statement on June 17.
