Hold onto your wigs, queens! The fabulous cast of Stop! That! Train! is here to spill all the tea about their characters and the unforgettable moments from filming. Directed by the legendary Adam Shankman and featuring a star-studded lineup of RuPaul’s Drag Race alumni, this film is set to be a riotous ride on the Glamazonian Express.
Starring the likes of Ginger Minj, Jujubee, Latrice Royale, Brooke Lynn Hytes, Symone, and Marcia Marcia Marcia, the film promises a mix of comedy, camp, and a dash of drama as these queens navigate life aboard a train headed for chaos. “This is no Drag Race acting challenge; this is a film with a theatrical release,” says Ginger Minj, who plays Tess, a dreamer with a penchant for codependency.
Jujubee, portraying DeeDee, adds, “This film is a real coming-of-age story for DeeDee. Does she find love? Does she have time to pee?” The stakes are high as the queens face off against mean-girl coworkers played by Brooke Lynn Hytes, Symone, and Marcia Marcia Marcia, all while trying to keep their passengers safe from the impending Stormaganza.
But what’s a film without some behind-the-scenes shenanigans? Ginger recalls a hilarious moment on set: “We were on a break, and Jujubee started making whale sounds. Then RuPaul joined in! It went on for a long time, and it really helped us relax. Ru was just there to play with us, not as the almighty RuPaul but as a coworker. It was fabulous!”
As the queens gear up for the film’s premiere, they’re eager to invite fans to join them in theaters. “Come and see it in the theater, because that’s where it’s playing. It has everything! Drag queens, disasters, musical numbers, and even unbranded Raggedy Ann dolls!” Ginger enthuses. “We all need to laugh right now, and this is the best way to do it.”
Latrice Royale, who plays the omnipresent Barbra, chimes in, “I was saying it before I even saw the movie, ‘Run, don’t walk, to grab tickets.’ Now that I’ve seen it, I’m doubling down! It is exactly the escape we need.” And with a cast this iconic, who could argue?
So, gather your best Judys, dress up, and make a night of it. Stop! That! Train! is set to hit theaters on June 12, and trust us, you won’t want to miss this hilarious ride filled with heart, humor, and of course, fabulous drag queens trying to save the day. Get ready to laugh, cry, and cheer as these queens embark on the adventure of a lifetime!
