TikTok sensation Addison Rae is all set to star in the gender-swapped version of 1999 teen comedy “She’s All That.”

The remake, titled "He’s All That," is being produced by Miramax and directed by Mark Waters, the man behind movies like "Freaky Friday."

"This reboot is a welcomed step towards a new generation of Miramax storytelling, part of our greater strategy to leverage our existing library with fresh, re-imagined content in both film and TV," Miramax CEO Bill Block told Variety.

The original movie saw Freddie Prinze Jr. helping a nerdy girl become the school's next prom queen. The remake will see Rae play a role inspired by Prinze Jr.’s character. Rae will be playing an influencer who tries to turn a nerdy into the school’s next prom king.

Rae, who has 60 million followers on Tiktok, took to Instagram to make the announcement.

"AHHHHH!!! My dreams are coming true!!! I’m so excited to finally share the news that i am getting the opportunity to make my acting debut in HE’S ALL THAT which is a remake of one of my all time favorite movies, SHE’S ALL THAT," she wrote.

"I’m so grateful for the opportunities that have been presented to me and none of it would have ever happened without every single one of you. I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!! I can’t wait for you to see it!!! I can’t wait to work with this amazing team and everyone involved in making the film and am so thankful to everyone who gave me this incredible opportunity. THANK YOU!! I’m so excited for y’all to meet Padget!!!" she added.

Rae, who is the highest-paid TikToker with $5 million earnings last year, had recently spoken about looking at a career in acting.

"I've done lots of classes. I've read tons of scripts... I think it's always a really exciting conversation and a long and very hard journey, but it's always worth it in the end. Hopefully, that'll continue to be a part of my life and maybe something big will come out of it," she said in an exclusive interview with Entertainment Tonight.
