Set It Off was originally released in 1996 and directed by F. Gary Gray. The film was centered around four close friends in Los Angeles who decide to plan and execute a bank robbery. The film grossed over $41 million against a budget of $9 million.

Rae has also been busy serving as the executive producer for the HBO's Black Lady Sketch Show. The Insecure star will also be appearing in a pair of romantic comedies out next year — Universal's The Photograph, releasing on Feb. 14, and Paramount's The Lovebirds, due out on April 3.
