In 1989 Michael Douglas and Katheleen Turner went head-to head with the film The War of the Roses based on the novel of the same name by Warren Adler. Now Meet the Parents and Austin Powers director Jay Roach is remaking the film with The Roses starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Olivia Colman, Andy Samberg, Allison Janney, Belinda Bromilow, Sunita Mani, Ncuti Gatwa, Jamie Demetriou, Zoë Chao and Kate McKinnon.

 

The Roses follow picture-perfect couple Ivy and Theo whose life seems easy with successful careers, a loving marriage, and great kids. But beneath the façade of their supposed ideal life, a storm is brewing – as Theo’s career nosedives while Ivy’s own ambitions take off, a tinderbox of fierce competition and hidden resentment ignites. The Roses is a reimagining of the 1989 classic film The War of the Roses, based on the novel by Warren Adler.

 

In addition to the film this release offers bonus content including a gag reel and numerous featurettes taking you behind love and war. Join the fight when The Roses hits digital on October 21st and then on Blu-ray and DVD on November 25th from Searchlight Pictures.
