"Girl Trip" revolves around four friends on a trip to New Orleans during the yearly Essence Festival. The group of women rekindle their friendship, get wild on the dance floor (and a little drunk), find romance and even get into a brawl.
While Latifah and Pinkett Smith have been working together as producers on films like "Secret Life" and "Dear Mama," "Girl Trip" marks the first time the two have appeared in a film together since the 1996 crime drama "Set it Off," directed by F. Gary Gray.
Vice president of production Sara Scott will oversee the project on behalf of Universal.
Pinkett Smith is represented by Paradigm, managers Miguel Melendez and James Lassiter, and Sloane, Offer, Weber & Dern.
Latifah is represented by CAA, Principato-Young Entertainment, and Eisenberg, Tanchum & Levy.
