“Stop That Train” director Adam Shankman defended the RuPaul Charles-starring film after social-media chatter over the weekend accusing the filmmakers of relying on generative AI — calling such claims “patently not true.”

“Every shot in ‘Stop! That! Train!’ was made by human hands!” Shankman wrote in an Instagram post Tuesday. “There are a sum total of ZERO shots conceived by AI in the movie. We employed hundreds of VFX artists who all killed themselves getting this out for release and not one job was taken out of human hands. The movie is a fully human made piece of joy and laughter. Take it in and enjoy it yall! We need the laughter!”
