Stop! That! Train!(2026)

The entire film was shot in just 19 days. Shankman compressed the shoot into a tight three-week window, which he said was only possible because the script was structured as "joke to joke to joke" — allowing him to set up a gag, deliver it, and move on. The rapid, discontinuous shooting also meant characters were deliberately placed in different spots across takes, which ultimately made the train feel bigger because audiences could never tell where anyone was sitting.

It was a secret "undisclosed project" that scored $1.7 million in state tax credits. In March 2025, the California Film Commission announced that an unnamed production involving drag performers had been awarded $1.7 million in tax incentives — the largest round in state history at the time. The project wasn't publicly identified as Stop! That! Train! until months later.

RuPaul plays the President of the United States. In the film's alternate-reality universe, RuPaul stars as President Judy Gagwell, who must manage a national crisis when the luxury "Glamazonian Express" train is struck by lightning and hurtles toward disaster during a "stormaganza."
