Cate Blanchette stars in a wild-looking genre-bending apocalyptic horror movie titled Rumours, and you can watch a red-band trailer for the movie below.
The film is described as “Night of the Living Dead meets Dr. Strangelove” and the film is said to ricochet between “comedy, apocalyptic horror, and swooning soap opera.” It’s also a “a genre-hopping satire of political ineptitude.”
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.
The movie comes from writers and directors Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson and Galen Johnson and it’s “a journey into the absurd heart of power and institutional failure in a slowly burning world.”
The movie also stars Roy Dupuis, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Takehiro Hira, Denis Ménochet, Rolando Ravello, and Zlatko Buric.
The film was executive produced by Ari Aster,, Blanchett, Phyllis Laing, Jorg Schulze, Joe Neurauter, Tyler Campellone, Adrian Love, Michael O’Leary, Andrew Karpen, and Kent Sanderson. Liz Jarvis, Philipp Kreuzer, and Lars Knudsen.
Rumours releases in theaters on October 18, 2024.
