‘Crazy Rich Asians 2’ sets writer Amy Wang to replace Adele Lim, Peter Chiarelli following pay controversy

'Crazy Rich Asians' director Jon M. Chu on Asian representation in Hollywood: 'I think the doors are opening now'

Perhaps best known for his work on 2018's "Crazy Rich Asians," Jon M. Chu has been working as a director in Hollywood since 2008. "I would say one of the biggest barriers for me growing up was the fact that people didn't think Hollywood was a place for an Asian-American director," Chu said. In the last few years, Asian representation in Hollywood has grown, but there's still room for improvement. "Crazy Rich Asians" tallied $238 million globally and was widely embraced by critics and audiences alike. "Crazy Rich Asians" focused heavily on how it feels for an Asian-American to go through a cultural identity crisis when traveling to Asia for the first time, Chu said.
