Bleecker Street has released the official trailer and poster for the upcoming Rumours movie, which is a black comedy directed by Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, and Galen Johnson. The film will open in theaters on October 18, 2024.
The Rumours movie, which was rated R for some sexual content/partial nudity and violent content, had its World Premiere at the 77th Cannes Film Festival in May 2024.
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.
With unexpected, uproarious performances from a brilliant ensemble cast that includes Cate Blanchett, Alicia Vikander, and Charles Dance, 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.
The cast also includes Roy Dupuis, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Takehiro Hira, Denis Ménochet, Rolando Ravello, and Zlatko Buric. Liz Jarvis, Philipp Kreuzer, and Lars Knudsen produced the film, which was executive-produced by Ari Aster and Cate Blanchett.
