Crazy Rich Asians is a film adaptation of Kevin Kwan’s 2013 novel of the same name; the novel is the first part of a trilogy by Kwan. The film is also the first Hollywood film to be led by an all Asian-American cast since the release of Buena Vista’s The Joy Luck Club back in 1993 — about twenty-five years ago. The film’s director Jon M. Chu’s hopes to direct the sequel to Crazy Rich Asians, labelled China Rich Girlfriend, should the film continue to make strides in the box office.
