What Stop! That! Train! is about
Stop! That! Train! is expected to follow an ensemble of characters caught in the chaos of a runaway train disaster. While specific plot details remain under wraps, the film's tagline — "the greatest trainwreck in herstory" — suggests a story built on campy humor, high stakes, and the kind of best-friends-against-impossible-odds dynamic that lends itself to both action and comedy. The presence of drag performers in leading roles, combined with the disaster-film premise, points toward a film that isn't afraid to lean into spectacle and absurdity.
What we know so far
Stop! That! Train! is directed and produced by Adam Shankman, with the screenplay written by Christina Friel and Connor Wright. The film is co-produced by World of Wonder — the production company behind RuPaul's Drag Race — and Unapologetic Projects. The ensemble cast includes drag icons RuPaul Charles, Ginger Minj, and Jujubee, alongside additional performers yet to be fully detailed. Clocking in at 92 minutes, the film straddles three genres: action, comedy, and music. It's expected to arrive in 2026.
Why it's anticipated
There's something inherently appealing about a disaster movie that doesn't take itself too seriously — especially when it's helmed by a director known for big, energetic ensemble pieces. What's striking is that Shankman's track record suggests he understands how to balance spectacle with character work, and pairing that sensibility with the creative energy of World of Wonder (the minds behind one of television's most successful franchises) creates genuine intrigue. The collaboration between drag performance and action-comedy filmmaking isn't exactly common territory, which makes the premise feel fresh. Add in the musical element, and you've got a film that's clearly betting on genre-blending and star power to deliver something audiences haven't quite seen before. Hard to say if it'll work, but that's precisely why people are paying attention.
