Today as promised, Warner Bros. released the first trailer for the highly anticipated Crazy Rich Asians film. As we see in the trailer, Rachel (Constance Wu) is finally getting the chance to meet her boyfriend of one year, Nick’s (Henry Golding) family. Rachel is completely blindsided when she discovers her boyfriend comes from a very wealthy family. She quickly learns that her boyfriend’s wealth is the least of her worries as she vies to gain the approval of his mother Eleanor played by the great Michelle Yeoh. I have to say after watching the trailer I am even more excited to see this film and read the book it is based on which I just ordered! Crazy Rich Asians hits theaters this August 17th, 2018. Make sure to check out the official trailer and share your thoughts about the trailer in the comment section below!
Movie Synopsis:
CRAZY RICH ASIANS follows native 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. It turns out that he is not only 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. And it soon becomes clear that while money can’t buy love, it can definitely complicate things.
Directed by Jon M. Chu (“Now You See Me 2”) and based on the acclaimed worldwide bestseller by Kevin Kwan, the film features an international cast of stars, led by Constance Wu (“Fresh Off the Boat”); Henry Golding, making his feature film debut; Gemma Chan (“Humans”); Lisa Lu (“2012”); and Awkwafina (upcoming “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 Sonoya Mizuno (“La La Land”), Chris Pang (“Marco Polo”), Jimmy O. Yang (“Silicon Valley”), comedian Ronny Chieng (“The Daily Show”), Remi Hii (“Marco Polo”), Nico Santos (“Superstore”) and Jing Lusi (“Stan Lee’s Lucky Man”). Color Force’s Nina Jacobson (“The Hunger Games” films) and Brad Simpson (“World War Z”), and Ivanhoe’s John Penotti (“Hell or High Water”) produced the film, with Tim Coddington, Robert Friedland, Sidney Kimmel and Kevin Kwan serving as executive producers. The screenplay is by Peter Chiarelli and Adele Lim, based on the novel by Kwan.

Good Asian trailer looks good I want to see this movie
I love movies like this. Can’t wait to see.
This looks cool. I gotta check it out.
This movie looks interesting like the Spike Lee movie. It reminds a little bit of a movie that starred Jennifer Lopez and Jane Fonda.
I saw the preview for this last night and I like these type of romantic comedies, so I’m excited to see it. It looks funny, especially the best friend and I like the fact that it’s dealing with another culture.
