Cate Blanchett’s Cannes Film ‘Rumours’ Named After Fleetwood Mac Album, Directors Confirm

The directors of the Cate Blanchett-starring 'Rumours' confirmed that the film is named after the classic Fleetwood Mac album

Rumours — described as “dark comedy” about a group of G7 world leaders who get stranded in the woods, leading to debauch situations, Variety reports — doesn’t share much in common with the legendary band, but co-director Galen Johnson found similarities between the film’s plot and the story behind the album. “ Rumours the album was famously creatively fraught and everyone was sleeping with each other, so it made sense to us,” Galen Johnson continued. “I did confirm something with Galen last night, and it’s weird that it never came up in rehearsal, which is: ‘Why the hell is this movie called Rumours?’” Blanchett added at the press conference.
