Amazon seems determined to have a
Game of Thrones-sized success of its own, recently
teaming up with J.R.R. Tolkien’s for a Lord of the Rings TV series that could reportedly cost up to $500 million.
They’re not stopping there. This week, the
Financial Timesreports that the studio is in talks to adapt critically-acclaimed Chinese novel series
The Three-Body Problem into a three-season show, the price of this being a staggering $1 billion – before shooting even begins.
Written by Liu Cixin, the best-selling novel is broadly about aliens preparing to invade Earth.
