Amazon might spend $1 billion to adapt sci-fi trilogy, The Three-Body Problem
Last week, reports emerged that Amazon would probably spend closer to half a billion dollars (if not more) to get its Lord Of The Rings prequel series onto our screens, making the adaptation the most expensive show to date. But it looks like the e-commerce giant, which posted a $1.9 billion profit in the last quarter of 2017 alone, is already gearing up to outdo itself. The Financial Times reports the Jeff Bezos-led online retailer is considering paying $1 billion for the rights and production of a series based on the Hugo Award-winning The Three-Body Problem.
