PUBLISHED AUG 14, 2018

'Crazy Rich Asians,' is all set to premiere tomorrow and as we gear up to see the grandeur of 'Crazy Rich,' here's a glimpse of how the film got the look without a prop house.

Filmed in the culturally rich country of Singapore as well as Malaysia (specifically Kuala Lumpur and Penang which doubled as New York City’s West Village), the romantic comedy follows New Yorker Rachel Chu (Constance Wu) as she accompanies her boyfriend Nick Young (Henry Goulding) to a wedding only to discover he is from one of Singapore's wealthiest families.

Production designer Nelson Coates and set and interior decorator Andrew Baseman were able to tackle the challenge, along with a number of other design dilemmas for the highly anticipated Warner Brothers film that hits theaters August 15.
