The two will star in an untitled buddy comedy movie from TriStar Pictures, with Isaa Rae producing. Rap Sh!t director Lawrence Lamont is set to direct, with the screenplay written by Syreeta Singleton.

Rae and Sara Diya Rastogi will produce through Rae’s banner HOORAE, joined by ColorCreative’s Deniese Davis, and Charles D. King, James Lopez and Poppy Hanks from Macro Film Studios. Singleton is co-producing. Big Boss’ Palmer and Sharon Palmer are executive producing. Macro Film Studios is coming on board to co-finance and produce.

The project came together from the CoCre lab at Sony Pictures. The lab was a previous pact between ColorCreative and Columbia Pictures to source and incubate emerging, diverse screenwriters to develop and write their first studio feature based on original ideas.
