Liam Cunningham Praises Makers Of '3 Body Problem': 'It Is Difficult To Translate Words From Book To Screen'

ABP News  

New Delhi: It's difficult to translate words from book to screen, says Irish actor Liam Cunningham, praising David Benioff and DB Weiss for adapting complex novels into hit series, be it "Game of Thrones" or their new show "3 Body Problem". Like "Game of Thrones", which was adapted from George RR Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" saga, "3 Body Problem" is based on a multilayered source material in Chinese author Liu Cixin's trilogy. "3 Body Problem" begins with a young scientist's decision to contact an alien civilisation during 1960s China, a moment that echoes across space and time. "3 Body Problem" also features Sea Shimooka, Eiza Gonzalez, Jonathan Pryce, Tsai Chin, John Bradley, Jess Hong and Jovan Adepo.
