Sport of Thrones bosses David Benioff and DB Weiss have a controversial mission within the works over at Netflix.

Final week, Deadline reported that 5 Republican senators drew up a letter to the streaming service’s CEO Ted Sarandos, complaining about plans to adapt Liu Cixin’s sci-fi trilogy The Three-Physique Downside (aka Remembrance of Earth’s Previous).

Now, Netflix’s vp of worldwide coverage Dean Garfield has responded after being accused of successfully “normalising” the Chinese language authorities’s incarceration of Uyghur Muslims by adapting these books.

“Netflix doesn’t function a service in China,” he responded in a Q&A. “Netflix judges particular person initiatives on their deserves.

“Mr Liu is the creator of the e-book – The Three-Physique Downside – not the creator of this present. We don’t agree along with his feedback, that are solely unrelated to his e-book or this Netflix present.”

Coated in The New Yorker final yr, the creator’s stance on the Xinjiang internment camps went as follows: “Would you quite that they be hacking away at our bodies at practice stations and colleges in terrorist assaults? If something, the federal government helps their economic system and attempting to elevate them out of poverty.

“Should you have been to loosen up the nation a bit, the implications can be terrifying.”

Beforehand, Benioff and Weiss stated of Liu’s work: “[It takes] readers on a journey from the Nineteen Sixties till the top of time, from life on our pale blue dot to the distant fringes of the universe.

“We sit up for spending the subsequent years of our lives bringing this to life for audiences all over the world.”

Sport of Thrones seasons 1-8 are actually obtainable on DVD and Blu-ray.
