The first full trailer for Crazy Rich Asians is finally here, and it is everything we hoped it would be.
We are so happy to see the film world start telling more diverse stories, and the film adaptation of the hit novel Crazy Rich Asians is a huge step forward in Asian representation in Hollywood. With a cast full to bursting with talented actors and a story that you can’t help but love, this movie isn’t just going to be an important one when it comes to representation, it’s going to also be a genuinely amazing film.

The teaser trailer gave us a quick look into the world of glamour and romance that Crazy Rich Asians built for us. The first full trailer gives us an even deeper look into the adventure the film is going to take us on, as well as the adorable romance between Rachel (Constance Wu) and Nick (Henry Golding).
Many of us have wished to find out that our family had some secret cache of riches, but when Rachel learns that her boyfriend Nick is one of the richest men in Shanghai, her life gets turned upside down. Upon meeting Nick’s very rich family at a wedding, Rachel finds out that not only does she not necessarily fit in with Nick’s lavish life in Shanghai, but that there are plenty of other women–including Nick’s mom–who are out to try to get Rachel out of the picture for a more “suitable” partner.
Will Nick and Rachel be able to overcome it all and cling to their love, or will the pressures of their family and society tear the two apart? We can’t wait to find out when this gorgeous rom-com hits the big screen on August 17.
