Gemma Chan and Harry Shum Jr are put to star in a ‘Loopy Rich Asians’ trudge-off.
The pair will reprise their roles from the fashioned, the put they performed Astrid Leong-Teo and Charlie Wu, and the trudge-off shall be according to the 2nd book in Kevin Kwan’s sequence, ‘China Rich Girlfriend’.
Closing date experiences that Jason Kim is writing the script.
Within the books, Astrid is the cousin of predominant character of Gash Younger (Henry Golding) and Charlie is her first like.
They were previously engaged but Astrid’s folks compelled them to interrupt up as they did no longer approve.
Within the fashioned film, viewers saw Astrid spoil up from her husband after discovering he had been cheating on her. While, Charlie helps her investigate her husband Michael’s infidelity within the books, Shum Jr’s phase within the film was reduced to a mid-credit score scene.
Director Jon M. Chu previously explained: “What we put within the film was powerful — they in truth dance together — and it was so superior, and Harry’s so charming and so cute. However the divulge was, it made Astrid in truth feel like she was leaving Michael for Charlie, and we did now not believe ample room to elongate on the premise. We true had to preserve centered. Come what would possibly or no longer it’s about her independence, so that scene was in there the full capacity till the very live. After we took it out, Astrid’s scuttle turned stronger. It was about her, no longer about her finding like.”
As neatly as to the trudge-off, a sequel to the first film will most likely be in pattern, with Chu returning to advise.
