Just days after releasing its first teaser of Crazy Rich Asians, Warner Bros has now released the first official trailer.
As with the teaser, the trailer features lots of sexy shots of Henry Golding as Nick Young and Constance Wu as native New Yorker and Nick’s girlfriend, Rachel Wu.
It is slickly produced and frames the films as both romantic and light=hearted. It’s sure to whet the appetite of readers of the best seller which also inspired two follow up books by author Kevin Kwan-China Rich Girlfriend and Rich People Problems.
AsAmNews is one of a select group of media given early access to the teaser.
Warner Bros says this is the first Hollywood-studio-backed film directed by an Asian American director and starring an all-Asian cast in 25 years since Wayne Wang’s The Joy Luck Club.
Crazy Rich Asians is directed by Jon Chu (Now You See Me 2)
The story follows Rachel’s trip with Nick to his best friend’s wedding in Singapore.
It’s there Rachel learns secrets about Nick’s life he has been keeping from her-mainly that he’s from one of the country’s wealthiest families and also a much sought-after bachelor.
Crazy Rich Asians premiers nationwide August 17.
