Star-studded cast joins RuPaul's 'Stop That Train' action-comedy film

Guillermo del Toro

Oscar-winning filmmaker and author whose work and commentary explore fantasy, horror, and cinema.

A star-studded ensemble, including Sarah Michelle Gellar, Nicole Richie, and Raven-Symone, is set to grace the screen alongside the iconic RuPaul in the highly anticipated action-comedy film, 'Stop That Train.' This collaborative effort brings together a vibrant cast, promising an exciting cinematic experience filled with humor and unexpected twists. The film, a joint production by Bleecker Street, Universal Pictures Content Group, and World of Wonder, marks a significant venture in the entertainment landscape, particularly for fans of drag culture and action-packed narratives. Director Adam Shankman, known for his dynamic storytelling, leads the project, which will also feature Michelle Visage, Chris Parnell, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, among other talented performers.

The narrative of 'Stop That Train' centers on a high-speed train journey that spirals into delightful chaos, spearheaded by drag queens Tess (Ginger Minj) and DeeDee (Jujubee), who serve as train stewardesses aboard the glamorous Glamazonian Express. Their routine trip takes an unforeseen turn when a catastrophic 'Stormganza' event threatens to derail the train. To save the day, Tess and DeeDee must unite with the initially aloof first-class attendants and the formidable President Gagwell (RuPaul). This unexpected alliance forms the core of the film's comedic and adventurous spirit, showcasing themes of cooperation and resilience amidst a flurry of camp and comedy. The movie, which holds its North American rights with Bleecker Street and international distribution through Universal Pictures Content Group, has seen its release date adjusted from May 29 to June 12, building anticipation among its global audience.

The film’s vibrant energy and themes of collaboration and overcoming adversity resonate deeply, highlighting how diverse groups can unite for a common goal. This narrative not only entertains but also subtly champions inclusivity and the power of collective action, proving that even in the face of chaos, determination and teamwork can lead to triumphant outcomes. It’s a testament to the idea that embracing uniqueness and working together fosters a stronger, more vibrant community.
