Writer Adele Lim says she was offered significantly less to work on the 'Crazy Rich Asians' sequel than her white male colleague was. So she walked.
For more than a decade and a half, screenwriter Adele Lim had worked her way up through an impressive résumé in television, writing on shows including “One Tree Hill,” “Life Unexpected,” “Reign” and “Star-Crossed.”
“Crazy Rich Asians” made nearly $240 million worldwide on a budget of $30 million, according to Box Office Mojo.Lim told The Times last year“But Jon, to his credit, knew that he had a female protagonist and he wanted a female point of view. When I came on, we basically talked about how I grew up in this culture,” said Lim, who grew up in Malaysia and is of Chinese descent.“There are so many tiny nuances in the book,” she added.
