#FIRSTLOOK: “STOP! THAT! TRAIN” IN THEATRES JUNE 12, 2026

Super queen RuPaul Charles leads a glam cast in Adam Shankman’s STOP! THAT! TRAIN!, a campy comedy that features icons from the Drag Race universe like Jujubee, Ginger Minj, Symone, Brooke Lynn Hytes and Marcia Marcia Marcia. Also making appearances are Sarah Michelle Gellar, Rachel Bloom, Nicole Richie, Lisa Rinna, Raven-Symoné, Jerry O’Connell, Chris
Parnell, Charo… that’s just a few. Phew! The film opened Inside Out 2026.

Our chats with the Shankman, Jujubee and Producer Tom Campbell:

Besties Tess (Ginger Minj) and DeeDee (Jujubee) are train stewardesses who work dreary shifts on the low-rung Stank Rail. When they get pink slipped, the duo end up wrangling jobs on the Glamazonian Express, a glitzy bullet train that promises a journey of excess. Mind you, they are relegated to coach duty. But when a massive storm (Stormaganza!) threatens to derail the train
and crash it into Florida, Tess and DeeDee join forces with the snobby first class attendants (Symone, Brooke Lynn Hytes, Marcia Marcia Marcia). Along with Madame President (RuPaul), they must do anything to stop! that! train!

A treat for the senses, the film is punctuated with color (reds, pinks, sparkle!) and sprinkled with a couple of original song-and-dance numbers in the aisles.

No surprise that Adam Shankman has his stewardesses dancing, given that his many credits include Emmy-winning So You Think Can Dance (judge), 82nd Annual Academy Awards (co-producer/lead choreographer), RuPaul’s Drag Race (guest judge/choreographer) and iconic Hairspray (director/choreographer). Script is by Christina Friel & Connor Wright. Choreography
is by Jamal Sims, and songwriting by Leland, both Drag Race contributors.

Fun fact:

Director of Photography is Luka Bazeli. His father shot Shankmans’s Hairspray and Rock of Ages. Luka had spent time on those sets as a teenager.

STOP! THAT! TRAIN! is being released in Canada by Mongrel Media.

#FIRSTLOOK: NEW TRAILER FOR “A WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE”

Today, BritBox revealed the official trailer for A Woman of Substance, premiering on June 24, 2026 in the U.S. and Canada. The 8-episode BritBox Original series will debut with two episodes, followed by a weekly episodic rollout. Based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Barbara Taylor Bradford OBE, A Woman of Substance is an epic period drama spanning six decades, charting the rise of Emma Harte from penniless Yorkshire maid in the early 1900s to powerful 1970s business mogul. Through love, loss, war, and unrelenting ambition, Emma amasses power, outwits rivals, and shapes her own destiny.

The series stars Brenda Blethyn (Vera, Little Voice) and Jessica Reynolds (House of Guinness, Outlander) as the two versions of the iconic character Emma Harte. Additional cast include Emmett J. Scanlan (MobLand), Lydia Leonard (Ten Percent), Leanne Best (The Walk-In), Ewan Horrocks (The Last Kingdom), Harry Cadby (Everything Now), Will Mellor (Broadchurch), Lenny Rush (Am I Being Unreasonable?), Niall Wright (Slow Horses), Robert Wilfort (Gavin & Stacey) Mara Huf (Tetris) and Toby Regbo (Outrageous).

The series finds Emma in 1911, an impoverished ambitious maid in Yorkshire, England, who goes on a dizzying journey to become the world’s richest woman, gazing down from a sprawling luxury New York penthouse. A rags-to-riches tale of women through the 20th century, Emma defies the expectations of her society, fearlessly challenging the roles she’s given, smashing glass ceilings, and never, ever deviating from her masterplan: Get to the top. Whatever it takes.

The series is created, written by and executive produced by Katherine Jakeways. Roanne Bardsley co-wrote and co-executive produced the series with Beth Willis, Joe Innes, George Faber executive producing for The Forge Entertainment. The Barbara Taylor Bradford Trust also executive produces. John Hardwick (Eps. 1-3), Samantha Harrie (Eps. 4-5) and Richard Senior (Eps. 6-8) directed the series.

The series will stream on BritBox in North America following a deal with Banijay Rights, which handles international distribution.

#FIRSTLOOK: NEW TRAILER FOR “FATHERLAND”

MUBI, the global distributor, streaming service, and production company, is pleased to share the official trailer and artwork for Paweł Pawlikowski’s (Ida, Cold War) new film FATHERLAND, following its World Premiere in the Official Competition at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, where Pawlikowski won Best Director.

Written by Pawlikowski and Henk Handloegten, the film stars Academy Award®-nominated Sandra Hüller (The Zone of Interest, Anatomy of a Fall), Hanns Zischler (Munich, Germany Year 90 Nine Zero, Kings of the Road), August Diehl (A Hidden Life, Inglourious Basterds), Devid Striesow (All Quiet On The Western Front), and Anna Madeley (Patrick Melrose, All Creatures Great And Small).

The film is a MUBI, OUR Films (a Mediawan Company, Italy), Extreme Emotions (Poland), Nine Hours (Germany), and Chapter 2 (a Mediawan Company, France) production, in collaboration with Circle One (Italy) and Apocalypso Pictures, with the participation of Arte and Pathé. It is produced by Mario Gianani and Lorenzo Mieli for OUR Films, Ewa Puszczynska for Extreme Emotions, Jeanne Tremsal and Edward Berger for Nine Hours, Dimitri Rassam for Chapter 2, and Lorenzo Gangarossa for Circle One.

Pawlikowski reunites with his longtime filmmaking team, which includes the Academy Award®-nominated cinematographer Łukasz Żal, costume designer Aleksandra Staszko, and production designers Katarzyna Sobańska and Marcel Sławiński.

Previously, Pawlikowski’s Ida garnered 70 international awards, including 5 European Film Awards and the 2015 Academy Award® for Best Foreign Language Film. He won the Best Director Prize at Cannes in 2018 for Cold War, with the film going on to receive a further 52 wins and 126 nominations, including Academy Award® nominations for Best Foreign Film, Best Director, and Best Cinematography.

SYNOPSIS
FATHERLAND centres on the relationship between the Nobel Prize-winning writer Thomas Mann (Hanns Zischler) and his daughter Erika (Sandra Hüller) – actress, writer and rally driver. In the summer of 1949, at the height of the Cold War, father and daughter embark on a challenging and emotional road trip in a black Buick taking them across a Germany in ruins – from US dominated Frankfurt to Soviet controlled Weimar. Returning home after sixteen years of exile in the US, Thomas Mann has to face not only a divided fatherland, but also a deep fracture within his own family.

With FATHERLAND, Pawlikowski picks up where he left off with his award-winning Ida and Cold War, exploring – in his elliptic, distilled style – the themes of identity, family, love and guilt amid the turmoil and confusion of post-war Europe.

Following its Cannes International Film Festival premiere, “Propeller One-Way Night Coach” debuts globally on Apple TV this Friday, May 29, 2026. The new Apple Original film, directed by John Travolta and adapted from his book of the same name, is set in the golden age of aviation where a young airplane enthusiast, Jeff (played by Clark Shotwell), and his mother (Kelly Eviston-Quinnett) set off on a one-way cross-country odyssey to Hollywood, which transforms a simple flight into the trip of a lifetime.

“Star City” – new series

“Star City” is the new, highly anticipated drama from award-winning creators Ben Nedivi, Matt Wolpert and Ronald D. Moore, which expands the world of “For All Mankind.” A bold new chapter inspired by the critically acclaimed space-race drama, “Star City” is a propulsive paranoid thriller that takes us back to the key moment in the alt-history retelling of the space race — when the Soviet Union became the first nation to put a man on the moon. But this time, we explore the story from behind the Iron Curtain, showing the lives of the cosmonauts, the engineers and the intelligence officers embedded among them in the Soviet space program, and the risks they all took to propel humankind forward. 

The series stars Rhys Ifans, Anna Maxwell Martin, Agnes O’Casey, Alice Englert, Solly McLeod, Adam Nagaitis, Ruby Ashbourne Serkis, Josef Davies and Priya Kansara. 

“Star City” is created by Nedivi, Wolpert and Moore. Wolpert and Nedivi serve as showrunners and executive produce alongside Moore and Maril Davis of Tall Ship Productions, and Andrew Chambliss and Steve Oster. 

“Star City” premieres globally on Apple TV with two episodes on Friday, May 29, followed by one new episode every Friday through July 10.

Rosen will make its global debut on Apple TV with the first two episodes on Wednesday, May 20, followed by new episodes every Wednesday through July 15.

A new darkly comedic thriller starring Emmy Award winner Tatiana Maslany and Jake Johnson, “Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed” follows newly divorced mom Paula (Maslany), who falls down a dangerous rabbit hole of blackmail, murder and youth soccer.
