Adam Shankman’s camp action comedy starring RuPaul Charles has been titled STOP! THAT! TRAIN! ahead of a North American theatrical release set for May 29, 2026 by Bleecker Street.
The drag queen disaster movie draws on the RuPaul’s Drag Race universe through franchise producer World of Wonderand also stars Ginger Minj, Jujubee, Brooke Lynn Hytes, Latrice Royale, Marcia Marcia Marcia, Monét X Change and Symone.
Bleecker Street earliernabbed the North American rights to the comedy feature from director Shankman that centers on camp drag queens on a chaotic high-speed train journey. Universal Pictures Content Group will handle the international rights to the RuPaul-led feature that has wrapped production in Los Angeles.
A synopsis from the producers reads: “STOP! THAT! TRAIN! follows best friends Tess (Minj) and DeeDee (Jujubee), train stewardesses who trade their dreary shifts on the Stank Rail for the glitzy Glamazonian Express. When a catastrophic ‘Stormganza’ threatens to derail the high-speed train,the duo join forces with the snobby first class attendants and President Gagwell (RuPaul) to save the day in this wild ride of camp and comedy.”
Lynn Hytes, Marcia Marcia Marcia and Symone play first class train attendants in the theatrical film that expands the storytelling universe for the long-running MTV drag queen competition series.
“I’ve had the greatest time shootingSTOP! THAT! TRAIN!with some of the most hilarious and game people out there, and we can’t wait to bring it to audiences nationwide next May,” Shankman said in a statement. “I know I’ve needed to laugh now more than ever, and if you’re not howling during this one, I’m pretty sure you’re made of coal and possibly a descendant of the Grinch family!”
Connor Wright and Christina Friel penned the script for the action comedy. Unapologetic Projects is financing and executive producing the project, with Fenton Bailey, Randy Barbato, Tom Campbell, RuPaul Charles and Shankman sharing the producer credits.
