Mon Sep 23 22:25:14 UTC 2024: ## G7 Summit Goes Horribly Wrong in New Satirical Film “Rumours”
**Cannes, France** – A darkly comedic new film “Rumours” premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, promising a wild ride for viewers. The film follows the G7 leaders as they gather in Germany for a summit to address a mysterious “global crisis.” However, things take a sinister turn when the conference is interrupted by ancient, vengeful spirits, forcing the world’s most powerful leaders to flee into the woods.
The film opens with a chilling scene: an archaeologist unearths an Iron Age corpse, grotesquely preserved with its severed penis hanging around its neck. The sight elicits expressions of disgust from the G7 attendees, highlighting the dark humor that permeates the film.
“Rumours,” directed by Ean Johnson, Galen Johnson, and Guy Maddin, features a star-studded cast including Cate Blanchett, Charles Dance, and Alicia Vikander. The film draws inspiration from the iconic Fleetwood Mac album of the same name, with the filmmakers highlighting the album’s tumultuous creative process as a parallel to the chaotic and unpredictable nature of the G7 summit.
“The album was famously creatively fraught and everyone was sleeping with each other,” shared Galen Johnson at the Cannes premiere. “It made sense to us.”
“Rumours” is set to hit theaters on October 18th, promising a unique blend of political satire, supernatural horror, and dark humor.
