Story highlights Twitter started buzzing about a Rihanna/Lupita heist film

DuVernay and Rae were asked to be involved

(CNN) Who needs a Hollywood pitch meeting when you've got the internet?

A film that fans literally willed to happen is coming to fruition.

A source close to the production confirmed to CNN there's a forthcoming film starring Rihanna and Lupita Nyong'o, helmed by "Selma" director Ava DuVernay and written by "Insecure" star Issa Rae.

Things are still in the early stages, but here's why we can thank Twitter for this bit of #BlackGirlMagic.

It all began in April, when a photo of Rihanna and Nyong'o taken at a 2014 fashion show started making the rounds with the caption, "They look like they're in a heist movie with Rihanna as the tough-as-nails leader/master thief and Lupita as the genius computer hacker."
