Tiffany Haddish has given an update on Girls Trip 2.
Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Haddish confirmed that she read the draft of the script.
“We just got the Girls Trip 2 script,” Haddish said. “They just sent the script. It is, to me, funny. I laughed out loud three times, which is very difficult for me to do, especially off paper, off of reading something. And it made me laugh loud and hard. I had to put the script down for a minute and come back to it and laugh. It was really good.”
Haddish says she offered her notes on the script, which was not well-received by executives.
“They’re like, ‘Well, before we even get your notes, we want to get the notes from the studio. So we don’t even want your notes,” Haddish explained. “And I was a little bit disappointed in that.”
Haddish even shared potential shooting locations for the highly anticipated sequel.
”But,” she continues, “I’ve been told as of Friday, I heard that they would like to shoot at the end of summer. And we’ll be shooting some of this movie in Africa.”
Regina Hall Is Hopeful For A Sequel
Back in December, Regina Hall shared her optimism about a sequel.
”I do believe so,” Hall Entertainment Weekly‘s Awardist podcast,
Hall continued, ” I think that it’s really about getting the script right. No one wants to do it if it’s not, if they don’t feel like it can be funny like the first one. And so I think getting that right has been like the primary goal. Until that’s right, then we won’t… hopefully it won’t be like Girls Trip: Seniors Edition.”
Upon its release, Girls Trip was a big hit. The film grossed $140 million worldwide on its $19 million production budget in 2017. It became the first comedy of 2017 to gross over $100 million in the U.S.
