Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman are all set to star in Jay Roach’s The Roses, an ode to the 1989 classic The War of the Roses.
Written by Tony McNamara, who is known for his work in Poor Things and The Great, the dark comedy promises viewers a reimagining of the 1989 classic.
Based on the novel by Warren Adler, the film features "picture-perfect" couple Cumberbatch’s Theo and Colman’s Ivy, with successful careers, great kids, and an enviable intimate life.
However, there’s an underlying rivalry and competition that’s ignited when Theo’s dreams come crashing down, leaving him no choice.
While announcing the project, Searchlight president Matthew Greenfield revealed that "The Roses is a wildly funny, bigger than life, and yet deeply human story."
Further adding: "With Jay at the helm, and Benedict and Olivia and Tony, we have a dream team bringing it to life."
According to Variety, Cumberbatch is set to produce under SunnyMarch’s flagship, while Colman will produce under the South of the River banner alongside Ed Sinclair and Tom Carver among others.
