Jon M. Chu wants people to look back 10 years from now and not even remember that “Crazy Rich Asians” was a thing. This is the first major Hollywood studio film with an all-Asian cast in 25 years -- based on Kevin Kwan’s international best-selling novel. Chu and Kwan rejected a huge offer from Netflix to release the film in theaters. The film opens August 15.
