Issa Rae fans were thrilled to hear that the next season of ‘Insecure‘ is officially underway as of last week, and now the creative is reportedly preparing another big project.

According to various reports, Rae is in early development phases of a “re-imagining” of the 1996 cult classic New Line crime thriller ‘Set If Off,’ which starred Jada Pinkett Smith, Queen Latifah, Vivica Fox and Kimberly Elise.

Rae will produce with plans to star in the project. Syreeta Singleton and Nina Gloster have been hired to pen the script. Montrel McKay (Issa Rae Productions) will produce alongside Rae.

“Set It Off,” directed by F. Gary Gray, was a solid performer at the box office with a $41 million gross on a $9 million budget for a story about four close friends who pull off a series of successful bank robberies in Los Angeles, thanks to the inside knowledge provide by Fox’s bank teller character. “Set It Off” helped propel the careers of all four lead actresses and Gray.

We’re so here for this–if done correctly!
