Cate Blanchett Co-stars with a Giant Brain: A New Kind of Rom-Com
By August Tales Comics
What happens when you mix Oscar winners, a giant brain, and a G7 summit? You get “Rumours,” an apocalyptic horror-comedy that flips conventional storytelling on its head.
A Trailer That Teases More Than It Tells
Bleecker Street recently dropped the first trailer for “Rumours,” and it’s as bizarre as it is captivating. Without revealing too much, the trailer hints at an enormous, sentient brain that promises an unconventional narrative. It’s weird, it’s wonderful, and it’s exactly the kind of teaser that leaves you wanting more.
The G7 Summit Meets Its Match
The official synopsis sets the stage for a film that swings between comedy, doomsday horror, and over-the-top melodrama. The story centers around the world’s wealthiest democracies, our familiar G7 summit members, as they struggle to draft a statement during a global crisis. Cate Blanchett, Alicia Vikander, and Charles Dance bring their star power to the mix, playing leaders whose comical incompetence takes center stage. And, let’s not forget, somewhere in the chaos, there’s a giant brain with a mysterious role to play.
The Big Question: Friend or Foe?
What exactly does this giant brain want? Will it attack, assist, or perhaps merge with the G7 leaders to form a super-brain? And why are these world leaders seen digging a grave together? The film raises more questions than it answers, leaving us on the edge of our seats.
Coming This October: The Wait is Almost Over
Directed by Guy Maddin and featuring a script by Evan Johnson, “Rumours” is set to hit theaters on October 18. The film boasts an ensemble cast including Roy Dupuis, Zlatko Buric, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Takehiro Hira, Denis Ménochet, and Rolando Ravello. After its premiere at Cannes, the buzz around this film has been growing, and we can’t wait to see what all the hype is about.
Too Intriguing to Resist
“Rumours” is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing films of the year. With its unique blend of horror, comedy, and political satire, it’s a movie that demands your attention. October can’t come soon enough!
