Henry Golding details ‘Crazy Rich Asians' reunions as Max develops TV series: ‘Really excited'
Henry Golding revealed he has reconnected with several of his 'Crazy Rich Asians' collaborators as the hit film, based on author Kevin Kwan's book trilogy, gets a future on the little screen.
Golding, who starred as affluent heartthrob Nick Young in the 2018 film, told the 'Today' show on Wednesday that he recently reunited with co-stars Awkwafina and Gemma Chan, on separate occasions, and discussed the series currently in development at Max. 'Everyone is excited,' he said.
The 'Snake Eyes' and 'Another Simple Favor' actor said he met up with Awkwafina 'the other night' and 'not too long ago' reconnected with Chan and 'Crazy Rich Asians' co-writer Adele Lim in London 'to sort of discuss where we're heading.'
'Crazy Rich Asians,' directed by Jon M. Chu and co-written by Lim and Peter Chiarelli, touted an all-Asian cast and was a watershed moment for underrepresented voices in Hollywood. The film made nearly $240 million worldwide on a budget of $30 million and paved the way for a sequel based off Kwan's second book, 'China Rich Girlfriend.'
In 2019, news broke that the 'Crazy Rich Asians' sequel hit a significant roadblock as Lim exited the project over pay disparity. The status of the second film has been unclear since then, but it seems Lim will give 'Crazy Rich Asians' another go. Warner Bros. Discovery is the parent company of both Max and Warner Bros. Pictures, which distributed the first film.
Lim is set to executive produce, write and serve as showrunner on the Warner Bros. Television project. Kwan and Chu (via his Electric Somewhere production banner) will both return as executive producers. Color Force's Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson will also executive produce. It's unclear where exactly the series will pick up, but it will be based off Kwan's books.
The series is in early development with no casting deals in place, but Lim is keen on having original cast members return for the show, The Times has learned. In his 'Today' interview, Golding did not confirm whether he was officially on board but said 'we have so much runway to really share the world' of the 'Crazy Rich Asians' franchise.
'I think we're really excited to show more,' he said.

VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security. However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN use to access region-specific content. If you're considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform's terms of service to ensure compliance. If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider's installation instructions, ensuring you're connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN use is crucial.

Dakota Johnson shares bizarre dream about The 1975's Matty Healy
Dakota Johnson has shared a bizarre dream she had about The 1975's Matty Healy. The Hollywood actress explained the dream featured the band's frontman as a mass murderer who turned into an asparagus in a bid to avoid detection - and she revealed her former boyfriend Chris Martin told her it should be turned into a movie. During an appearance on the 'Good Hang' podcast, Dakota explained: "I actually had a dream the other night. "Matty Healy from The 1975 was in my dream and he was murdering people, and he was Matty Healy as himself. When the people were looking for him - they were cops maybe, he would turn into a piece of asparagus." She added of the dream: "I saw these two poles and a bed and I was like, 'Matty?' The sheets came down and it was him as an asparagus and Angelina Jolie as an asparagus. "They were getting married, and they left in a helicopter together as asparagus." She said she then told Chris about the dream, adding: "Chris was like: 'That's a really good pitch for a movie'." Dakota was involved with the Coldplay frontman on and off for around eight years and they are believe to have previously been engaged, but reports suggest they recently called off the romance for good. During her appearance on the podcast, Dakota revealed she recently adopted a new puppy named Tokyo from the Santa Barbara Humane Society in California and the pooch has been helping her cope with the loss of her previous dog Zeppelin, who died in December at the age of 17. She said: "We rescued her on Saturday from the Santa Barbara pound. I didn't plan on it. "I thought: 'It's gonna be a while [before I get another dog']. But then I saw her, and she's an angel." Dakota brought Tokyo along to the recording of the podcast and she added of the puppy: "She's a performer. Honestly, she has come alive on camera. "She normally hides in the back of her crate. She's really timid. And now she's like, 'Here I am' ... You're an actress just like your mom!" Dakota has yet to publicly address rumours of her split from Chris, but during a recent appearance on the 'Today' show, she shared her "non-negotiables" for dating in the future, declaring any future partner needs to be "just like, not an a******."
