MANILA, Philippines — In response to netizens’ queries on why Filipino “multimedia queen” Kris Aquino is not in the first trailer of the Warner Bros. film “Crazy Rich Asians,” the actress and TV host has explained her side on social media. #proudtorepresentphilippines.”A netizen then backed Kris’s claim, saying that Kris’s exposure in the movie might be short, but her role would be very important. Being on Nick’s arm puts a target on Rachel’s back, with jealous socialites and, worse, Nick’s own disapproving mother (Michelle Yeoh) taking aim. “Crazy Rich Asians” features an international cast of stars, led by Constance (“Fresh Off the Boat”), Gemma Chan (“Humans”), Lisa Lu (“2012”) and Awkwafina (upcoming “Ocean’s 8”), with Ken Jeong (the “Hangover” films”) and Michelle Yeoh (“Star Trek: Discovery,” “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”). The movie will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures and is set for release in Philippine cinemas on August 22.
