Sarah Michelle Gellar, Nicole Richie and Raven-Symone are among those set to appear alongside RuPaul in the upcoming action-comedy film “Stop That Train.”

Gellar will play herself in the film. Michelle Visage, Chris Parnell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Charo, Brian Jordan Alvarez, Natasha Leggero, Drew Droege and Joel McHale are also set to make appearances.

“Stop That Train,” from Bleecker Street, Universal Pictures Content Group and World of Wonder, is directed by Adam Shankman and stars Ginger Minj, Jujubee, Brooke Lynn Hytes, Latrice Royale, Marcia Marcia Marcia, Monét X Change and Raven-Symone.

Bleecker Street has the North American rights to the comedy feature which follows drag queens on a high-speed train journey that turns chaotic. In the film, Tess (Minj) and DeeDee (Jujubee) are train stewardesses who work aboard the glitzy Glamazonian Express. But a catastrophic ‘Stormganza’ threatens to derail the high-speed train, and the duo have to join forces with the snobby first class attendants and President Gagwell (RuPaul) to save the day in this wild ride of camp and comedy.

Audiences will have to wait a little bit longer to see the first feature film from the “Drag Race” producers as its release date has been pushed back. The film was originally slated for a May 29 release, but will now hit movie theaters on June 12.

Universal Pictures Content Group will handle the international rights to the RuPaul-led feature. Fenton Bailey, Randy Barbato, Tom Campbell, RuPaul and Shankman serve as producers.

Bleecker Street recently released Rob Reiner’s “Spinal Tap II: The End Continues; Max Walker-Silverman’s Sundance favorite “Rebuilding” starring Josh O’Connor; “Fackham Hall,” a spoof of British period dramas starring Damian Lewis, Thomasin McKenzie and Katherine Waterston; and upcoming is Guy Nattiv’s “Harmonia” starring Bella Ramsey, Odessa Young, Carrie Coon and Lily James.

The 18th season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” produced by World of Wonder, is currently airing on MTV, and HBO‘s two-part true-crime doc “Murder in Glitterball City,” directed by Bailey and Barbato, is now streaming on HBO and HBO Max.
