RBKD: Kevin Kwan’s debut novel, Crazy Rich Asians, a global bestseller in 2013, will be adapted into a Hollywood movie, to be directed by Asian-American director Jon M. Chu of Justin Bieber: Never Say Never and G.I. Joe: Retaliation while Kwan will be the executive producer.
Kwan, who is based in New York, shared in other interviews that his dream cast would feature “equal representation in terms of Singapore stars, Hong Kong stars, Asian-American stars and mainland Chinese stars” and will be filmed in Singapore too.
So CNA is suggesting their own dream cast as follows (this will not affect casting):
CONSTANCE WU AS RACHEL CHU
GODFREY GAO AS NICHOLAS YOUNG
MICHELLE YEOH AS ELEANOR YOUNG
RUI EN AS ASTRID LEONG
ADRIAN PANG AND FIONA XIE AS EDISON “EDDIE†CHENG AND KITTY PONG
