In October, the Warner Bros. studio acquired the movie rights to Crazy Rich Asians, a romantic comedy which follows a Chinese American economics professor Rachel Chu (Wu) and her boyfriend, the heir to a wealthy family in Singapore. It’s a story of Chinese families, old money and new money, butting heads in Singapore, and the studio is planning to feature an all-Asian cast. Directed by John M. Chu, the film is an adaptation of the New York Times best-selling novel written by Kevin Kwan, reports The Hollywood Reporter. The film is based on the screenplay written by Peter Chiarelli and Adele Lim.
