I want the best thing.
I want it to be worthy of whatCrazy Rich Asians 1was.
Weve tried all different versions.
This contemporary romantic comedy based on a global bestseller follows native New Yorker Rachel Chu to Singapore to meet her boyfriend’s family.
Its hard because people think the first movie is like the book, but it actually is not.
Its the right spirit, but the plotting is very different.
And so, you cant just go and translate.
And weve tried versions and the fact is, is that we just havent gotten there.
Theres no way Im dragging the audience back.
Theres no waythe bar is too high.
So, in time, when we get there, we will.
To me, that sequel right now is that the Broadway musical that were working on.
Thats very exciting and very fun."
Chu’s latest,Wicked, is in theaters now.
Crazy Rich Asiansarrives on Max on January 1.
Stay tuned to Collider for updates on all thingsCrazy Rich Asiansand more.
