Rumours is like the depraved baby born of a twisted orgy between Armando Iannucci, Luis Buñuel, and Quentin Dupieux — all directed by Guy Maddin and Evan Johnson

This October 18 release tells the story of a G7 summit gone horribly wrong — or, depending on your politics, karmically right.

Cate Blanchett basically plays Angela Merkel, Denis Ménochet basically plays fat Emmanuel Macron, Tywin Lannister Charles Dance literally plays a British President of America (don’t hold your breath for the movie to explain it), and Alicia Vikander shows up for a “more beguiling than funny, by design” cameo.

Speaking of Quentin Dupieux, his Dalí biopic Daaaaaali! begins its theatrical run on Friday.

And Armando Iannucci’s stage adaptation of Dr. Strangelove — with Steve Coogan covering Peter Sellers — starts performances in London one week from today.
