There is no place like the internet. Everyone's favorite Rihanna and Lupita Nyong'o's meme is finally getting its very own movie.

In early 2014, a photo of Rihanna and Nyong’o looking cool together at the Miu Miu Spring 2014 Ready-to-Wear Collection went viral on Tumblr. In late April 2017, the photo once again took the internet by storm after a Twitter user suggested a heist movie involving the two stars.

What started as a joke on social media suddenly became serious when the “Queen of Katwe” actress herself tweeted the said meme to Rihanna, saying, “I’m down if you are.” In response, the latter said, “I’m in Pit’z.”

Now, fans’ pleas have not fallen on deaf ears as Netflix successfully secured a deal for the said concept during the 70th Cannes Film Festival.

It will be directed by Ava DuVernay, from a screenplay by Issa Rae. Even though it is unclear yet as to whether it will follow the same idea as the initial tweet, it is said that the as-yet-untitled film is intended to begin production before the year ends or in early 2018.

While waiting, fans can check out Rihanna in Luc Besson’s “Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets” and “Ocean’s Eight,” opposite Sandra Bullock, Helena Bonham Carter, Cate Blanchett, Mindy Kaling, Awkwafina and Anne Hathaway. Nyong’o, on the other hand, will next be seen in Rian Johnson's "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" and Ryan Coogler's "Black Panther."

Lupita Nyong'o shares excitement over 'Black Panther'

In a recent sit-down interview with The Toronto Sun, Nyong'o could not contain her excitement over the upcoming American superhero film "Black Panther." In the film, she plays T'Challa's (Chadwick Boseman) love interest, Nakia, who is also a member of the Dora Milaje.

“This is another one of those movies that I feel very passionate about and excited about," the 34-year-old Mexican-Kenyan actress said. "I’m looking forward to learning all the stunts and the physical skills I need to play Nakia and be a member of the Dora Milaje (the bodyguards of the 'Black Panther').”

Nakia, alongside Ayo (Florence Kasumba) and Okoye (Danai Gurira), will help T'Challa / Black Panther bring down Erik Killmonger (Michael B.

Jordan), Ulysses S. Klaue (Andy Serkis), and the leader of the Wakandan tribe, M'Baku / Man-Ape (Winston Duke).

"Black Panther" is set to be released in the United States on Feb. 16, 2018, in IMAX. Check out the video below for more information.
