MALAYSIANSKINI | If you are a Malaysian who has put pen to paper, you would do well to take inspiration from Adele Lim. She has gone from being a precocious columnist to the Stars Youth section in the 1990s to start working on world-class TV shows like Xena: Warrior Princess, One Tree Hill and Private practice.
As if that wasn’t enough, Lim (above, second from right) has upped the ante in recent years. She co-wrote the script for the 2018 hit. Crazy Rich Asians starring Constance Wu, Henry Golding, and Michelle Yeoh. The film grossed $ 238 million at the box office on a budget of $ 30 million.
Lim, a graduate of Emerson College in Boston, also made headlines when she dropped out of the sequel in protest of the gender pay gap after learning she would be paid just one-eighth of what her co-writer Peter Chiarelli could earn.
Fortunately, he landed another, even more exciting project: co-writing Walt Disney Animation Studios’ 59 animated feature film, Raya and the last dragon.
The story of a lone warrior who sets out to find the last dragon in existence and save the kingdom of Kumandra from the villain Druun, the film is based on various myths and legends from the Southeast Asian region.
It was scheduled to hit theaters on November 25 this year, but due to the Covid-19 outbreak, its release was delayed until March 12, 2021.
Still, the mother of two doesn’t stop there, and there are many possibilities …
