The film, set in various locations including the African woods, promises action, CGI effects, and a lot of blood.
Star-Studded Drag Cast
Joining Cara Melle in ‘Slay’ are fellow ‘Drag Race’ alumni Trinity the Tuck, Heidi N Closet, and Crystal Methyd. The film is poised to be a thrilling mash-up of genres, drawing comparisons to iconic titles like ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer,’ ‘AJ and the Queen,’ ‘The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert,’ and ‘Underworld.’ Cara Melle’s excitement about the project hints at a unique cinematic experience blending drag artistry with action and comedy.
