HBO’s upcoming action‑comedy Stop That Train just added a burst of star power. Sarah Michelle Gellar, Nicole Richie, and Raven‑Symoné are among the latest names to board the project, joining RuPaul in what is shaping up to be one of the most eclectic ensemble casts of the year.
The film, described as a high‑energy caper with a comedic twist, follows RuPaul as a larger‑than‑life hero thrown into a runaway‑train adventure packed with chaos, unlikely alliances, and over‑the‑top villains. With the newest cast additions, the project is leaning fully into its mix of nostalgia, comedy, and pop‑culture charisma.
Gellar, best known for Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Cruel Intentions, brings her signature sharp wit to the film. Nicole Richie, who has built a second career as a comedic actress, adds her offbeat humor to the ensemble. Raven‑Symoné, a multi‑hyphenate performer with decades of screen experience, rounds out the trio with her trademark energy and timing.
Additional cast members are expected to be announced as production continues, but the current lineup already blends multiple generations of television icons.
RuPaul stars in the film and also serves as a creative force behind the project. Known for transforming reality television with RuPaul’s Drag Race, he now steps into a full‑scale action‑comedy role that plays to his strengths: camp, charisma, and commanding presence.
Stop That Train promises a blend of physical comedy, stylized action, and character‑driven humor. With a cast that spans sitcom legends, genre favorites, and pop‑culture staples, the film is positioned to appeal to a wide audience—especially fans who love a little nostalgia mixed with their blockbuster fun.
Production is currently underway, with more details expected to roll out in the coming months.
