The trailer for Rumours, the upcoming black comedy film directed by Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, and Galen Johnson. The film stars Cate Blanchett and Alicia Vikander in lead roles. 

The trailer shows the leaders of the global seven wealthiest democracies uniting for a meeting. They plan on coming up with a common statement addressing a global crisis when all of them are deserted and left to be attacked by an apocalypse. 

The official synopsis of Rumours reads, "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.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 film is a journey into the absurd heart of power and institutional failure in a slowly burning world."

The cast also comprises Charles Dance, Roy Dupuis, Denis Ménochet, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Rolando Ravello, Takehiro Hira, Zlatko Burić. The film is produced by Liz Jarvis, Lars Knudsen, and Philipp Kreuzer. The film had its world premiere at the 77th Cannes Film Festival on 18 May 2024. 

Rumours is all set to hit theatres on October 18.
