"The Roses" remake stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman as a divorcing couple, updating the 1989 film with modern themes.

In the 2025 movie "The Roses," Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman star as a couple on the brink of divorce in a reimagining of the 1989 film "The War of the Roses." Directed by Jay Roach, the film, based on a 1981 novel, downplays the original's class conflict and roles of breadwinner and homemaker. Cumberbatch and Colman, longtime friends, found the project as an opportunity to work together, bringing modern dynamics to the dark comedy.
