Searchlight Pictures has slated Jay Roach’s new comedyThe Rosesfor anAugust 29release. Based on the novel by Warren Adler, the film boasts an all-star cast which includes Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman. Now, the studio has given us a new look at the film with the first official trailer. The film also stars Andy Samberg, Allison Janney, Ncuti Gatwa, Jamie Demetriou, Zoë Chao, Belinda Bromilow, and Kate McKinnon. Tony McNamara (Poor Things) wrote the script. Jay Roach, who directed the Austin Powers and Meet the Parents movies, helms this retelling.
The official synopsis forThe Rosesreads:
“Life seems easy for picture-perfect couple Ivy (Olivia Colman) and Theo (Benedict Cumberbatch): successful careers, a loving marriage, 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 produced by Jay Roach, Michelle Graham, Adam Ackland, Leah Clarke, Ed Sinclair and Tom Carver. Executive producers on this project include James L. Brooks, Michael Adler, Jonathan Adler, Benedict Cumberbatch, Olivia Colman and Cáit Collins.

The Roseswill have a little competition on its chosen release date, with Darren Aronofsky’s crime thrillerCaught Stealingand Macon Blair’sThe Toxic Avengerboth opening on the same day.
The story was first adapted in 1989 withThe War of the Roses. Danny DeVito directed the film and also co-starred alongside Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner, who played the feuding couple. The film was a huge success, with Douglas and Turner both scoring Golden Globe nominations.
Amusingly, after the whirlwindlegal battlebetween Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, Depp’s friend Alice Coopersuggestedthat the pair should star in aWar of the Rosesremake. “I have a great idea,” Cooper told Depp. “You and Amber do a remake ofThe War of the Roses. Who wouldn’t go and see that?” Cooper said that Depp laughed, and that was the extent of his reaction. “He laughed. Then it was, ‘What songs are we doing?’” Cooper said. “Johnny is a good guitarist and in a way he would have been happiest doing that, playing side of stage in a band and not having to deal with the level of attention he gets. He just happens to be a really good actor. He has never seen a single one of his movies.“
