Colman Cumberbatch Star in Jay Roach's 'The Roses' Remake

Oscar winners Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch headline “The Roses,” a reimagining of the 1989 dark comedy “The War of the Roses,” which opens in cinemas on Friday, 29 August. Directed by Jay Roach, the film follows a seemingly content couple whose marriage deteriorates into all-out warfare. The ensemble also features Allison Janney, Kate McKinnon and Andy Samberg. A London premiere on 28 August drew the principal cast, who earlier promoted the release at BBC studios. The red-carpet event marks the start of an international rollout timed for the late-summer box-office window. Early notices from outlets including Reuters, Reforma and ABC7 praise the sharp dialogue and the leads’ chemistry, positioning the picture as a high-profile adult comedy amid a crowded streaming-focused weekend.
