Bleecker Street and World of Wonder have released the first trailer for the action-comedy “Stop That Train!”
Directed by Adam Shankman, “Stop That Train!” stars RuPaul as President Gagwell who has to save the day. “Drag Race” alumni lead the cast. Best friends Tess (Ginger Minj) and DeeDee (Jujubee) play train stewardesses who trade their dreary shifts on the Stank Rail for the glitzy Glamazonian Express.
When a catastrophic “Stormaganza” threatens to derail the high-speed train and crash it into Los Angeles, the duo in coach must join forces with the snobby first class attendants (Raven-Symone, Brooke Lynn Hytes, Marcia Marcia Marcia) to save the day. Matt Rogers, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Rachel Bloom, Lisa Rinna and Nicole Richie also star in the film.
In the trailer, Madam President Gagwell asks for an update on the situation and is informed that the Glamazonian Express is “headed into a massive storm.” When she responds, “Tell it to me gay,” the camera cuts to Rogers who gasps aloud. As the stewardesses board the Glamazonian Express and tell passengers “there’s no need to panic,” chaos ensues, and “Carmina Burana: O Fortuna,” better known as the theme from “The Omen,” plays.
Gellar plays herself in the film, appearing as a passenger aboard the doomed Glamazonian Express. The trailer shows a clip of her sitting in her first class seat when another passenger approaches and asks, not if she’s Sarah Michelle Gellar, but “Are you sitting in my seat? I paid for the window.”
The film is produced by World of Wonder, Universal Pictures Content Group and Bleecker Street, and written by Connor Wright and Christina Friel. Fenton Bailey, Randy Barbato, Tom Campbell, RuPaul Charles and Shankman serve as producers. Unapologetic Projects is an executive producer and financier on the project.
“Stop That Train” was filmed in Los Angeles and will arrive in theaters on June 12.
