Bleecker Street’s Rumours teaser trailer is weird. Really weird, but in a good way.
Described as part political satire, part pulp horror comedy, Rumours‘ big-name cast includes Cate Blanchett, Charles Dance, Alicia Vikander, Roy Dupuis, Nikki Amuka-Bird, and Takehiro Hira. Denis Ménochet, Rolando Ravello, and Zlatko Buric also star.
“Ricocheting between comedy, apocalyptic horror, and swooning soap opera, Rumours follows the seven leaders of the world’s wealthiest democracies at the annual G7 summit, where they attempt to draft a provisional statement regarding a global crisis,” reads Bleecker Street’s synopsis. “These so-called leaders become spectacles of incompetence, contending with increasingly surreal obstacles in the misty woods as night falls and they realize they are suddenly alone. A genre-hopping satire of political ineptitude, the latest film from incomparable directors Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, and Galen Johnson is a journey into the absurd heart of power and institutional failure in a slowly burning world.”
Liz Jarvis, Philipp Kreuzer, and Lars Knudsen serve as producers. Executive producers Ari Aster and Cate Blanchett.
Rumours opens in theaters on October 18, 2024.
