What happens in the Rumours red band trailer?
The video features Oscar winner Cate Blanchett as Hilda Ortmann, the Chancellor of Germany who meets with other world leaders for the G7 summit. Their meeting gets interrupted after the mummified corpses started rising from the dead. It also highlights the crazy shenanigans they will go through during the unexpected zombie crisis. In addition to Blanchett, the cast also include Alicia Vikander, Charles Dance, Roy Dupuis, Denis Ménochet, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Rolando Ravello, Takehiro Hira, and Zlatko Burić.
“The film 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,” reads the synopsis. “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 film is a journey into the absurd heart of power and institutional failure in a slowly burning world.”
Described as a genre-hopping satire of political ineptitude, Rumours is written and directed by Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson and Galen Johnson . The film is executive produced by Blanchett, Ari Aster, Phyllis Laing, Jorg Schulze, Joe Neurauter, Tyler Campellone, Adrian Love, Michael O’Leary, Andrew Karpen, and Kent Sanderson, with Liz Jarvis, Philipp Kreuzer, and Lars Knudsen serving as producers.
