The supermodel, who starred in the original television movie, _Life-Size_, 18 years ago, alongside [Lindsay Lohan](http://time.com/5410792/lindsay-lohan-instagram-video-woman-refugees-child-abduction/), will be bringing Eve back to a brand new audience with a sequel film that involves Eve helping a millennial CEO with a quarter-life crisis. The model shared a sneak peek of the upcoming film with [_Entertainment Weekly_](https://ew.com/tv/life-size-2-photos-tyra-banks/#tyra-banks-is-all-dolled-up-for-life-size-2), showing off Eve’s bold new looks and disclosing that the new movie will have a special remixed version of Eve’s very important contribution to pop culture, the song, “Be a Star.” “It’s like a remix. You know the Diana Ross song ‘I’m Coming Out’ and how \[the Notorious B.I.G. and\] Puff Daddy did it over \[in ‘Mo Money Mo Problems’\]?” Banks, who had [a short-lived bout as an aspiring singer](https://ew.com/music/2018/04/02/tyre-banks-shake-ya-body-failed-music-career/), said. “It’s like that, or when Jay-Z did ‘Hard Knock Life.’” See a first-look of Tyra as Eve in _Life-Size 2_ below.
