Jon M. Chu gives update on ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ sequel

Jon M. Chu recently gave an update on a potential Crazy Rich Asians sequel while doing press for Wicked.

Chu, who directed Crazy Rich Asians, was asked about how a sequel was progressing in an exclusive interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

“There are a lot of questions about Crazy Rich Asians 2. I always promised the cast, I will not bring them back unless we get a script that’s better and has as much urgency as the first movie. And I think we just haven’t gotten there yet,” Chu said.

Crazy Rich Asians is adapted from a book series. Chu revealed that it was difficult to adapt the first book into the first film. Creating a script from the second book for a sequel hasn’t been as easy as some fans might think it is.

“We’ve done some versions and it’s never quite hit. The bar is high for all of us to come back to do that, so I’m not going to put the audience through that until we’re ready to do it,” Chu told The Hollywood Reporter.
