Issa Rae Shuts Down ‘Set It Off’ Remake Rumors: “I Would Never Remake A Classic”

Attention, Attention! Issa Rae is NOT doing a Set It Off remake.

Entertainment Tonight spoke with Issa as well as her The Photograph co-star, Lakeith Stanfield, on Tuesday about their romantic film. During the interview, the actress was asked about the alleged remake of  the 1996 classic “Set It Off” that starred Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith, Vivica A. Fox , and Kimberly Elise. 

Many fans and cast of the original film were not here for the new version.

Vivica A. Fox expressed her thoughts on Entertainment Tonight.

Damn, Vivica Fox said she’s not here at all for Issa Rae’s ‘Set It Off’ remake.

“It’s a classic, leave it alone,” she said bluntly. “There’s absolutely no reason to try to redo it. It’s been done..” pic.twitter.com/2sXe8rdpfA
