Searchlight Pictures has debuted a new promo featurette for The Roses, the highly anticipated upcoming comedy from acclaimed director Jay Roach. A sharp and stylish reimagining of the 1989 cult classic The War of the Roses, this modern version brings together a powerhouse cast and a fresh take on marital mayhem.
Leading the ensemble are Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman as Theo and Ivy, a seemingly picture-perfect couple with enviable careers, a loving marriage, and a well-curated life. But as Theo’s career hits the skids and Ivy’s ambitions begin to soar, their polished domestic bliss begins to unravel—setting the stage for a hilarious and chaotic unraveling of modern love, ego, and rivalry.
The film also stars a stellar supporting cast, including Andy Samberg, Allison Janney, Belinda Bromilow, Sunita Mani, Ncuti Gatwa, Jamie Demetriou, Zoë Chao, and Kate McKinnon, promising a mix of biting humor and high-energy performances.
Penned by Oscar-nominated screenwriter Tony McNamara (The Favourite, Poor Things), The Roses blends razor-sharp dialogue with emotionally explosive moments. Adapted from the original novel by Warren Adler, this version aims to strike a contemporary chord with audiences while staying true to the chaotic spirit of the original.
The Roses is set to hit theaters on August 29th, 2025, and is shaping up to be one of the year’s must-watch comedies with bite.
