Universal Pictures has debuted the official trailer for Rumours, a brand new surreal comedy from the minds of Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, and Galen Johnson. The film is slated to release in UK cinemas on December 6, 2024.
The film ollows 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. These so-called leaders become spectacles of incompetence, contending with increasingly surreal obstacles in the misty woods as night falls and they realise they are suddenly alone.
Watch the film’s trailer in the player below:
Featuring uproarious performances from a brilliant ensemble cast that includes Cate Blanchett as the German Chancellor, Charles Dance as the President of the United States, Nikki Amuka-Bird as the UK Prime Minister and Alicia Vikander as the President of the European Commission. Shifting between sharp comedy and apocalyptic horror, this genre-blending satire on political ineptitude is the latest film from visionary directors Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, and Galen Johnson (The Green Fog), offering a darkly absurd exploration of power and institutional failure in a slowly burning world.
Rumours is released in UK and Irish cinemas on December 6, 2024.
