The trailer for Crazy Rich Asians, the movie adaptation of Kevin Kwan's best-selling book by the same name, is finally here. The highly anticipated movie, directed by John M. Chu (Now You See Me 2, Step Up 2), features an all-Asian cast and tells the story of Rachel Chu, an American-born Chinese university professor who travels to boyfriend Nick Young's hometown of Singapore for his best friend's wedding. After discovering he comes from generations of ridiculous (seriously, ridiculous) wealth and is considered one of the most eligible bachelors among Asia's elite, Rachel is confronted with countless forces that try to tear her and Nick apart. Basically, it's going to be the best. Here, everyone who's been cast in the film and who they'll be playing.
