Emmy-nominated actress Issa Rae (HBO’s Insecure) is set to produce and potentially star in a new version of the 1996 film “Set It Off” at New Line Cinema. She will be taking on the project along with her Issa Rae Productions partner Montrel McKay. Syreeta Singleton and Nina Gloster are the scriptwriters.

The film earned $41 million and was a box office hit which garnered positive reviews from critics. This film was legendary for its time as a film featuring Black female leads during a time in the industry when Black actresses were rarely afforded the opportunity. While in the film the characters each experience tragic scenarios, in the real world, this film helped launch careers!
No other details about the project or is development are available at this time. But, we are excited and on edge to see what direction Issa Rae and her partners decide to take with this film!
Best known as the writer, creators and star of HBO’s Insecure, Rae also executive produces A Black Lady Sketch Show for the network. On the big screen, she most recently starred in Universal’s charming fairy tale Little, and she’ll soon be seen opposite Lakeith Stanfield in The Photograph from the very same studio. She also stars opposite Kumail Nanjiani in The Lovebirds, which Paramount will release next year.

In less than a month, her supporters have already pushed the single to #1 in Music and #3 overall on YouTube Hype Charts — a feature on YouTube that highlights the platform’s fastest-rising videos based on real-time engagement and momentum. It’s clear that this artist continues to not miss a beat!

Fresh off the cusp of women’s history month, we can’t overlook the fact that Anike recently had a baby and in that process successfully and consistently released new promotion, music, and even an educational course for up and coming artists during that time. She has been resourceful and consistent, always finding ways to continue her grind while not ignoring her personal needs and health to the best of her ability.

An artist of her caliber continuing to unite and inspire young women to grow closer to the Lord while also reaching their life goals – in their health, career and relationships – is not only inspiring; she has become an example of tenacity and strong faith. Much like the current picture of her life, this single is giving Proverbs 31 energy and showing young ladies everywhere the value of pursuing life with God at the center! It makes sense that this latest single “Holy Girls” is becoming more than a vibe – it’s becoming a new anthem!
