In a statement to the aforementioned news outlet, Shankman gushed about his filming process for the project.
“I’ve had the greatest time shooting STOP! 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,” he exclaimed.
“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!”
STOP! THAT! TRAIN! will follow Tess (Ginger) and DeeDee (Jujubee), two best friends and train stewardesses who leave their “dreary shifts on the Stank Rail” to work aboard the Glamazonian Express.
The official synopsis adds: “When a catastrophic ‘Stromganza’ 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 — and President Gagwell (RuPaul) — to save the day.”
World of Wonder, the production company behind the Drag Race franchise, is producing the film alongside Bleecker Street. RuPaul, Fenton Bailey, Randy Barbato, Tom Campbell and Shankman will also serve as producers.
