On "Set It Off"

While not a lot has been revealed about the remake, writers Syreeta Singleton, known for her work on "Black Monday," and Nina Gloster, who worked on Lee Daniels' "Star," are set to join the team.

"Set It Off" follows the story of four friends who all hope to have a better life. Their quest leads them to commit bank robberies, which after enjoying the money they stole, all ended up with tragic ends.

With so much on her plate, the future looks pretty bright for Issa Rae, who has her plate quite full in the next couple of months.
