I knew that the sequel was happening, but many people were wondering if Patty was going to be returning as the director and it took quite a while before anything was officially confirmed about that. But I am so happy that it was! The first film was so good. I only hope that the second doesn't suffer from sequelitis, as some franchises sometimes do.

I'm the same, I wasn't aware of the background of the creator until I saw the trailer for the film, and I ended up doing some research. So I'm super intrigued to see the film.

The fact that casting Asian actors to play Asian characters is so confusing for casting directors continues to baffle me. Then again, welcome to Whitewashed Hollywood where they barely learn their lesson and think they can get away with anything just as long as it makes money. I'm glad what Ed did though, not only did he back out of the role he also showed that he clearly understands the issue which is an important factor.
