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! ” RuPaul plays President Gagwell, who must save the day. “Drag Race” alums lead the cast. Best friends Tess (Ginger Minge) and Dee Dee (Jujubee) play train stewardesses who trade their boring stints on the Stank Rail for the glamorous Gra-Amazonian Express.
When a cataclysmic “Strmaganza” threatens to derail a high-speed train and crash into Los Angeles, the two aboard a passenger train must join forces with a plucky first-class crew member (Raven-Symone, Brooke Lynn Heights, 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, First Lady Gagwell asks for an update on the situation and is informed that the Gra-Amazonian Express is “facing a major storm.” When she replies, “Tell me gay,” the camera cuts to Rogers gasping loudly. When stewardesses board the Gra-Amazonian Express and tell passengers there’s no need to panic, pandemonium ensues and “Carmina Burana: O Fortuna”, known as the theme from “The Omen”, plays.
Geller plays himself in the film, appearing as a passenger on the doomed Gra-Amazonian Express. The trailer shows a clip of her sitting in a first class seat when another passenger approaches her and asks her, not if she’s Sarah Michelle Gellar, but rather, “Are you sitting in my seat? I paid for the window.”
The film was produced by World of Wonder, Universal Pictures Content Group, and Bleecker Street, and was written by Connor Wright and Christina Friel. Produced by Fenton Bailey, Randy Barbato, Tom Campbell, RuPaul Charles, and Shankman. Unapologetic Projects is the executive producer and financier of this project.
“Stop That Train” was filmed in Los Angeles and will be released in theaters on June 12th.
