HBO is also reportedly kicking the tires at aCrazy Rich Asiansseries.
Theres too much on the line for everybody.
Continued, the filmmaker, I want the best thing.
I want it to be worthy of whatCrazy Rich Asians1was.
Weve tried all different versions.
Its hard because people think the first movie is like the book, but it actually is not.
Its the right spirit, but the plotting is very different.
And so, you cant just go and translate.
And weve tried versions and the fact is, is that we just havent gotten there.
And theres no way Im dragging the audience back.
Theres no way the bar is too high.
So, in time when we when we get there, we will.
There is hope, fans.
Exclaims Chu, To me, that sequel right nowis that the Broadway musicalthat were working on.
Thats very exciting and very fun.
