Jon M. Chu ("Now You See Me 2") directed the contemporary romantic comedy "Crazy Rich Asians," based on the acclaimed worldwide bestseller by Kevin Kwan.

The story follows New Yorker Rachel Chu (Constance Wu) as she accompanies her longtime boyfriend, Nick Young (Henry Golding), to his best friend's wedding in Singapore. Excited about visiting Asia for the first time but nervous about meeting Nick's family, Rachel is unprepared to learn that Nick has neglected to mention a few key details about his life. Not only is he the scion of one of the country's wealthiest families, but also one of its most sought-after bachelors. Being on Nick's arm puts a target on Rachel's back, with jealous socialites and, worse, Nick's own disapproving mother (Michelle Yeoh) taking aim.

It soon becomes clear that the only thing crazier than love is family, in this funny and romantic story sure to ring true for audiences everywhere.

"Crazy Rich Asians" features an international cast of stars, led by Constance Wu ("Fresh Off the Boat"), Gemma Chan ("Humans"), Lisa Lu ("2012"), and Awkwafina ("Ocean's 8," "Neighbors 2"), with Ken Jeong (the "Hangover" films") and Michelle Yeoh ("Star Trek: Discovery," "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"). The large starring ensemble also includes Henry Golding, making his feature film debut, Sonoya Mizuno ("La La Land"), Chris Pang ("Marco Polo"), Jimmy O. Yang ("Silicon Valley"), comedian Ronny Chieng ("The Daily Show"), Remy Hii ("Marco Polo"), and Nico Santos ("Superstore").




Color Force's Nina Jacobson ("The Hunger Games" films) and Brad Simpson ("World War Z"), and Ivanhoe Pictures' John Penotti ("Hell or High Water") produced the film, with executive producers Tim Coddington, Kevin Kwan, Robert Friedland, and Sidney Kimmel. The screenplay is by Peter Chiarelli and Adele Lim, based on the novel Crazy Rich Asians, by Kwan.

The creative filmmaking team included director of photography Vanja Černjul ("Marco Polo"), production designer Nelson Coates ("Fifty Shades Darker"), costume designer Mary Vogt ("Kong: Skull Island") and editor Myron Kerstein ("Going in Style"). The music was composed by Brian Tyler ("Avengers: Age of Ultron").




"Crazy Rich Asians" was filmed entirely on location in Singapore and Malaysia. It is set for release on Wednesday, August 15, 2018.
