Please note that this text concerns one of the events from the series and book “”. If you still have a viewing or reading to do, you may not want to spoil the fun and surprise. The scenes described below take place in the fifth episode of the series, which can be watched on the platform from Thursday.
One of the climactic scenes in “The Three-Body Problem” is not the contact with the aliens from Trisolaris, but the three-minute sequence of the ship’s destruction in the fifth episode. Readers know that this is, of course, a ship with the aptly named “Judgment Day”, which encountered its judgment day while crossing the Panama Canal. The creators revealed how this scene was created in the series.
Netflix reveals how the second Bloody Wedding was created in ‘The Three-Body Problem’
If you have already watched the fifth episode of the series, you have seen Auggie’s nanofibers in action, cutting not only the steel hull, but also the soft bodies of all those who were dubiously lucky to be on board the “Doomsday”. Netflix itself, in its behind-the-scenes materials from the series, calls this scene the “second Bloody Wedding” – a perfect and extremely bloody scene from “Game of Thrones”, during which the entire group of main characters loses their lives. In the case of “The Three-Body Problem”, there are more deaths than in Bloody Wedding, but only two of them have specific names. Both the old and the youngest bodies are chopped up, something that is rarely shown so directly on screen. Invisible death befalls every passenger of the ship, blood flows in streams, body parts flow out of each other in a theatrical way, intestines leak, legs fall off… In short – it is a first-class massacre.
This is the most cruel, horrible thing people do on this show. And it’s made by “the good guys,” says Alexander Woo, one of the producers.
The whole thing was shot using a traditional method, preceded by consultations with experts in similar materials. The ship’s corridor, cut with nanofibers, was shown with minimal use of special effects, as was the ship falling apart using a neoprene mock-up.
We only added the chopped-up people in post-production as part of special effects. But before they were chopped up and fragmented, their roles were played by real extras – explains DB Weiss.
And adds:
It’s one of those scenes that has never been seen before – a tanker being shredded by nanofibers into two-foot sections, with everyone inside.
It’s terrifying. Thoroughly terrifying. And this is the impression I wanted to create, so that the viewer would be blinded by this massacre – says the director responsible for this episode, Minkie Spiro.
