Lilly Singh is on fire right now!
It seems like the girl just can’t be stopped, and we are thrilled to have found out that Singh just got cast in Fahrenheit 451, which is a film adaptation of Ray Bradbury’s infamous dystopian book.
The character that Singh will play is named Raven, who is a vlogger working with the fire department to help spread propaganda by broadcasting to her fans the book burning raids that are happening.
Talk about a perfect role for her, especially considering that she actually is a vlogger in real life who goes by the name Superwoman.
For those of you who haven’t read the books, the plot follows a dystopian world where books have been outlawed and firemen have to go around and burn any ones that they find.
Sounds like a terrible world to us, and ironically one where the book that’s written about it would in fact no longer exist.
