David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, creators of Game Of Thrones, faced limits to their creative freedom when they began working on their next project. Despite these limitations, they took a big risk with their adaptation of Liu Cixi’s novel Three-Body Problem. The story is a complex sci-fi saga that spans centuries, telling the tale of humanity’s response to an alien invasion. However, Benioff and Weiss went even further, reportedly hoping to include a cameo appearance from former U.S. President Barack Obama in the show. This ambitious move raised eyebrows and questions about whether they could pull it off. It remains to be seen if they will be successful.
The man in question is a busy individual who has a lot on his plate. He has podcasts to create, movies to produce, and a third activity that we are not aware of yet. However, it is certain that this activity is not drone strikes, as that was something he used to be involved with. Interestingly, former President Barack Obama was a big fan of the original novel that this man’s work is based on. Obama had mentioned in 2017 to The New York Times that reading the novel during his presidency had helped him put his day-to-day issues with Congress into perspective, as they seemed fairly insignificant compared to the novel’s “immense” scope. Obama even went on to say that he found the novel “fun to read.”
Benioff and Weiss, the creators of the upcoming Netflix adaptation of a book, were keen on offering a role to Barack Obama, who is known to be a fan of the book. However, despite their efforts, Obama politely declined the offer. In an interview with USA Today, the creators shared details of a note that Obama sent them, explaining his decision. The note had a very Obama-like tone, where he humorously suggested that he needs to save himself for a more significant crisis, such as a real alien invasion. Although Obama was unable to take up the role offered to him, his response left a lasting impression on the creators and the fans alike.
It references Joe Biden’s apparent lack of awareness regarding the potential dangers posed by artificial intelligence until he watched the movie Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning. Similarly, Obama was reportedly so shaken by a book’s content that he decided to remain vigilant in case a real alien invasion ever occurs. However, it’s strange that this would be his concern, even as a joke, given that he is no longer in office. After all, former presidents are not typically called upon to assist in alien invasion movies. This highlights the importance of exercising your right to vote, as the outcome of elections can have significant impacts on policy decisions and the overall direction of the country.
