If you haven't seen the trailer for Everything Everywhere All at Once, you're missing out on the best trailer for an upcoming movie. The mind-melting multiverse family dramedy from directing duo Daniels ( Swiss Army Man ) stars the legendary Michelle Yeoh as Evelyn, a Chinese immigrant thrust into a sci-fi adventure across all the lives she could have led and how they are connected in the fight. Her co-stars include Jamie Lee Curtis, James Hong, and Ke Huy Quan.
The lack of opportunities for Asian American performers in movies like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom led to the giving up of acting by Ke Huy Quan. The success of Crazy Rich Asians inspired him to call an agent and see if he could revive his career. It is a seminal movie for me. I felt like I wanted to do that.
He stepped out of not being in a movie for two decades and then came back to play my husband. Being with him was a lot of fun.
From what we've seen of his performance in the trailer, his earnestness as a loving husband quickly flipping to action star with the weaponization of a fanny pack has us game for more.
The light bulb moment to reach out to Quan came from seeing a Gif of Short Round on his account. What is that guy doing? He was the first person we tried out for, and he became our favorite. When we were writing this role, we imagined that person.
The admiration was apparently very mutual. The admiration was apparently very mutual. It's hard for an original movie to come by, and to a part of this original story, original movie, is a real blessing.
The adaptation of the 2006 graphic novel American Born Chinese, which centers on a teen and his immigrant family getting swept up in a fight among Chinese gods, will be the next project for Quan.
Everything Everywhere All at Once opens on March 25th.
