The director of the hit romantic comedy "Crazy Rich Asians" are warning everyone that he and producers are not currently casting for "new lead roles." Jon M. Chu said this after finding out about phony press release and social media post, which have since been taken down.
Chu took to his Twitter account to express his dismay and disgust after a user named Alan Baltes — claiming to be an actor and casting associate — posted a notice saying that the supposed "Crazy Rich Asians" sequels, "China Rich Girlfriend" and "Rich People Problems," were casting Asian actors, ages 20s through 40s, for lead roles via "live Zoom auditions."
