Girls Trip is an upcoming romantic comedy film directed by Malcolm D. Lee. The film stars Regina Hall, Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith, Larenz Tate and Mike Colter and produced by Will Packer. The film is scheduled to be release on July 21, 2017 by Universal Pictures.
The film tells the story of four lifelong friends who travel to New Orleans for the annual Essence Music Festival, where sisterhoods are rekindled and wild sides are rediscovered.
In February 2014, Universal announced that director Malcolm D. Lee and producer Will Packer would be collaborating on an upcoming film tentatively titled Girls Trip with South Park writer Erica Rivinoja attached to write the script. In May 2016, Universal set a release date of August 11, 2017 for the film. It was also reported that Regina Hall would star in the film and Kenya Barris and Tracy Oliver were rewriting the script. Queen Latifah and Jada Pinkett Smith joined the cast in early June 2016 with Larenz Tate joining the cast later that month. The film's release date was pushed up to July 21, 2017 as principal photography began in late June 2016 in New Orleans, Louisiana and included filming at the 2016 Essence Music Festival.
A teaser trailer for the film was released on January 31, 2017. A red band trailer for the film was released on February 9, 2017.
