GG Townson takes on the role of Salt with Laila Odom playing Pepa, while The Next Step's Monique Jasmine Paul is their trusty sidekick on the wheel of steel, DJ Spinderella.
With director Mario Van Peebles at the helm - the man behind such retro cinema smashes as New Jack City and Posse - we're expecting the 90s era vibes to be very much in check.
Both Salt and Pepa are credited as producers alongside fellow female rap icon Queen Latifah, and with it being an authorised biopic, you can expect to hear all the girls era-defining party anthems like Push It, Let's Talk About Sex and Whatta Man.
