News Rumours Horror Comedy Rumours Gives Us a World Crisis, a Giant Brain, and a Stellar Cast By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on August 29, 2024 Screenshot: Bleeker Street Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Bleeker Street The teaser for the horror comedy Rumours doesn’t tell us much, but it does give us a glimpse of its stellar ensemble cast as well as an image of a giant brain. And what more can you ask for, really? The production company, Bleeker Street Media, describes it as “a genre-hopping satire of political ineptitude.” The teaser also boasts praise from many critics (real quotes this time), who call it bizarre and effortlessly hilarious, among other things. Here’s the official synopsis: Ricocheting between comedy, apocalyptic horror, and swooning soap opera, Rumours 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. With unexpected, uproarious performances from a brilliant ensemble cast that includes Cate Blanchett, Alicia Vikander, and Charles Dance, 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. In addition to Blanchett, Vikander, and Dance, the film stars Roy Dupuis, Takehiro Hira, Denis Ménochet, Zlatko Burić, and Rolando Ravello. It’s directed by three people(!): Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, and Galen Johnson. Rumours premieres in theaters on October 18, 2024. Check out the teaser trailer below.

Over on Mastodon, user vga256 posted that he had found a copy of a work by Anders Ramsell. According to vga256, Ramsell released a 35-minute cut of Blade Runner twelve years ago, where each shot is an aquarelle painting he did after work each night. In an example of amazing dedication, Ramsell reportedly completed 12,597 paintings in total. It took him two years to do so. “[T]he video circled around the web for a few years, and quietly disappeared from every single site it was hosted at,” vga256 wrote, adding, “a few months ago i spent a few hours digging for it, and finally found a copy of the original file.” vga256 was kind enough to share where he found the video via Internet Archive, and you can now also view the 35-minute video at your leisure by following the link here. 1982’s Blade Runner is, of course, a classic example of noir sci-fi, directed by Ridley Scott and starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, Edward James Olmos, M. Emmet Walsh, and Daryl Hannah. Based on the Philip K. Dick novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? it’s deservedly recognized as an iconic work of SF. Ramsell’s art is also stunning piece of work, and another example of how fandom can create wonderful things.
