Acclaimed Actors Play World Leaders Battling Zombies in Ari Aster-Produced “Rumours”!
Get ready for a wild ride! The trailer for “Rumours” just dropped, and it’s a bizarre mashup of political satire, horror, and dark comedy. Imagine “Hereditary” meets “The Cabin in the Woods” with a Wes Anderson twist, and you’re starting to get the picture.
The film follows a group of fictional world leaders (played by a star-studded cast with some seriously goofy accents) as they navigate a Model UN-like summit that gets interrupted by – wait for it – zombified bog bodies!
This crazy concept comes from the minds of directors Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, and Galen Johnson, with Ari Aster on board as a producer. The cast includes big names like Cate Blanchett, Roy Dupuis, Alicia Vikander, and Charles Dance, all seemingly embracing the absurdity of the situation.
“Rumours” promises to be a genre-bending satire that tackles political ineptitude and institutional failure in a unique and darkly comedic way. The official synopsis hints at a “ricocheting” plot that blends “comedy, apocalyptic horror, and swooning soap opera.”
Intrigued? You should be! The trailer is packed with bizarre visuals, including Roy Dupuis engaging in some questionable post-coital behavior and Charles Dance wiping his mouth with the American flag.
“Rumours” premieres in theaters on October 18th. Be prepared for a cinematic experience unlike anything you’ve seen before!
