Bleecker Street announced Thursday that they have secured U.S. rights to director Guy Maddin’s latest feature, “Rumours.” The ensemble feature stars Oscar winners Cate Blanchett and Alicia Vikander, as well as Roy Dupuis and Charles Dance.

The film tells the story of seven leaders of the world’s wealthiest liberal democracies who meet at the annual G7 summit and what happens when they get lost in the woods while trying to draft a statement in regards to a global crisis.

Maddin wrote and directed the film alongside Evan Johnson and Galen Johnson. “Rumours” marks a reteaming of the trio after working together on the 2017 feature “The Green Fog.”
