- All’s fair when love is war. THE ROSES, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Olivia Colman, Andy Samberg, Allison Janney, Belinda Bromilow, Sunita Mani, Ncuti Gatwa, Jamie Demetriou, Zoë Chao and Kate McKinnon. Directed by Jay Roach, in theaters August 29th. #TheRoses
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 a reimagining of the 1989 classic film The War of the Roses, based on the novel by Warren Adler.
Directed by: Jay Roach
Screenplay by: Tony McNamara

Cast: Benedict Cumberbatch, Olivia Colman, Andy Samberg, Allison Janney, Belinda Bromilow, Sunita Mani, Ncuti Gatwa, Jamie Demetriou, Zoë Chao, and Kate McKinnon
It's so good to see Olivia and Benedict in such lively roles🤣🤣
😂
Looks boring and formulaic, sorry folks. Such hype over stars.
So many phony "indie" films right now are episodic plays off a single idea: the Menu, Civil War, this schlock. Start with premise, progressively ramp up action into craziness. Flatters the audience's intelligence. It's not really cinema; it's television's "situations" on the big screen. Curb your Everything. Zzzz
Stop talking about these people as if you know them
Nice to see actors of similar ages paired together and with facial expressions being able to emote!!!
Probably way the leads are British (not hating on British actors - they just seem less worried about looking perfect)
Has to British for that brilliance! 🎉
I really didn't realize there's only 3 years gap. I thought Olivia is far older than Benedict.
Benedict has unique & unconventional facial features but he’s honestly very hot!
Yeah the freaky perfect symmetry and ridiculous teeth seem to be mostly a product of Hollywood @@effie-rina
You know it is gonna be a wild ride when Kate McKinnon isn't the craziest one among the cast.
Exactly what I was thinking!
she’s amazing😍🤭🤭
And when they have her playing a straight woman
Looks like a complete bore, I feel like I just saw the entire film. If you don't worship celebrity actors, there's nothing here.
@SuperRobertoClemente This trailer hasn't even hit thr apex of how dark the source material is.
I love that this film not only cast two brilliant actors to portray a married couple in crisis, but also chose two people who are actually close in age. (I just checked - Benedict is roughly two years younger than Olivia!) That feels so refreshing. I’m honestly tired of pop culture constantly pushing the idea that it’s normal for men to date or marry women young enough to be their daughters.
have you seen It's Complicated starring Alec Baldwin,Meryl Streep and Steve Martin?
@@BlestservedChilledomg ofc there's exceptions
This is the sort of movie that's been missing from the theaters.
@pyroslev u mean the sort of movie that is always on cinemas, but then nobody noticed it cause everyone was seeing big franchise film based on popular IP. Then we all complaint this kind of film not exist anymore.
A pale remake of a better movie?
@@masterofallgoons you haven’t even seen it yet.
@@BobbyM817 this is true. I'll give it a chance. But the original is genuine classic and this just looks fine.
@@masterofallgoons fr a remake of a successful film is hardly 'missing from theaters'. I'm just surprised it's not called Orchids or some other kind of swap.
I am SEATED. I am in the cinema right now, as we speak, popcorn and crisps at the ready. People are trying to tell me the movie isn't out yet and I refuse to listen. (Also, I am kissing the casting director on the mouth.)
Right on!!😂
hopefully with tongue!
🤣🤣🤣
✅THIS!
you had me at the whole cast.
they had me at Bus Rodent
This has me hooked more than the cast of 'The Life of Chuck'.
BOYCOTT THIS RACIST!!!!

I didn't look at the name of the trailer and halfway through I'm thinking, "This is war of the Roses" LOL. I'M IN.
Yup. Looks like a good remake.
@@saki1206 didn't even realize it was a remake. I thought it was a coincidence because the plot is not that unique. But it looks funny and fun so I'll watch it!
Yep, Young people need to experience the joy of that movie once every 30-40 years in the4 remakes.
@@nancy107 The actual plot has existed since the early 1900's. It has been remade multiple times. Last one being the one with Michael Douglas.
Thought the same. But this one seems funnier.
I will admit that I had not anticipated this level of chaos based upon how the trailer started.
These two need to promote this film on the graham norton show
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
omg YES Spot on!
Now please!
yes!!!!
Yes! ❤
I saw Benedict Cumberbach, Olivia Coleman and Ncuti Gatwa and was immediately sat, especially with the rest of the cast.
Omg yaa ❤
Remake of the War of the Roses with this cast? Hell, yes.
Hollywood has zero ideas left.
@@stevechance150 LOL how very very wrong. This is the week of WARFARE, it's soo different and out of the box it might even be it's flaw to many viewers.
@@stevechance150 I swear, remakes of a good movie are such a turn off.
Some remakes are good. After a few decades, sometimes an updated version is nice.
It works because Olivia and Benedict are great actors. Looks so much fun. English sarcasm flying.
I never knew Benedict and Olivia would make such an amazing onscreen couple until I saw them onscreen as a couple 😂❤❤❤
I never thought I'd want to see a remake of "The War of the Roses," but then I saw Olivia Colman. Now I'm ready to see it.
We are so used to see Olivia and Benedict in intense roles....this comes as such a happy surprise 👏 👏
War of The Roses is such a classic film that I’ve watched over and over again. One of the best dark comedies from the 80’s. This will be interesting.
You're more generous than me, I think it looks terrible :) And The War of the Roses is a great movie, agreed.
I am SOOO excited to see Olivia & Benedict on screen together! This is going to be so brilliant & an in-theater must see, I’m certain of it. 😂
BOYCOTT THIS RACIST!!!!
Ncuti Gatwa “There’s so much White mediocrity that gets celebrated, and Black people, we have to be absolutely flawless to get half of [that]
yes i rarely go in person any more, but will make an exception for this the day it hits.
Two of the best actors of current generation. Olivia and Benedict. Bring it on.
The cast alone sold me! Olivia and Benedict together? Count me in 🍿👏
Really goodlooking remake and retake of the War of the Roses with Michael Douglas, Dani DeVito and marvelous Kathleen Turner. I just simply LOOOOOOVED the Chandelier reference here.... GRACIAS!!! Loving it, loving it.
This looks so good!
Also Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman in a Comedy is going to be amazing and this cast is *chefs kiss*
The war of the roses with Michael Douglas and Kathleen turner is an all time fave of mine.. their chemistry was unmatched even in their loathing. Funny without being over the top or silly.
This looks like it may be a lot of fun with a great cast! Cautiously optimistic
Of course this was written by Tony McNamara. The humor, the banter, the crazyness. Looks brilliant!!
World’s Greatest Detective and Amazing Detective/Genius Going up against Oscar Winning Queens Olivia Colman and Allison Janney!
And I’m here for it!
I love how the movie has taken the male and female roles of the original movie War of the Rose's and switched them up! The successful women and stay at home dad!
Olivia and Benedict being diabolical is fantastic. Cant wait !!
1:28 Andy’s signature wow. I was just waiting for it.
I am SO excited for thisncast to be onscreen together, and in a retelling of a classic 80s film, no less. McKinnon and Samberg will always get me to watch, but of course Colman and Cumberbatch can do no wrong!!! Demetriou and Gatwa are icing on the cake 🥰
oh this movie is a NEED TO SEE! The acting, the brilliance, the unmitigated fun!
I saw 'The War of the Roses' when I was at University. It had an unbeatable cast with Kathleen Turner, Michael Douglas and Danny De Vito. It definitely did NOT need a remake.
I laughed out loud more that any other trailer I've seen in a very long time.
This. I was in the cinema last week watching the F1 movie and this trailer came on. I absolutely lost my shit at the crabs in the bath.
War of the Roases was one of my favorite movies. This looks good! Great cast
Tumblr Community, We finally get that unexpected Sherlock & Doctor Who crossover that we’ve been waiting for! 🤣🤣🤣
BOYCOTT THIS RACIST!!!!
Ncuti Gatwa “There’s so much White mediocrity that gets celebrated, and Black people, we have to be absolutely flawless to get half of [that]
YES!! actors...ACTING..on a MOVIE SCREEN! Can't wait!!
I love it. A modern spin to War of the Roses, with a nod to the chandeleir crashing LOL
They better have the line "not the Staffordshire!" If you know you know!
YES! BRING MOVIES LIKE THIS BACK
I didn't know I wanted to see a remake of "War of The Roses" until just now. Take my money!
When love is war, it just creates chaos 💥 Olivia and Benedict 😍
This is one of the few remakes that looks good!
Let’s hope Benedict and Olivia can be just as entertaining as Michael and Kathleen 🤞
@@TorontoFan Of course they can, are you kidding. They both are top-notch actors and Oliva has been in comedy shows
my favourite Olivia and Benedict in one movie, and as a couple! godsend!
Need more comedies like this with an unbelievable cast and writing 🙏🏼
This cast 🙌
And have you watched the original from 1989?
@@Naminski1a Yes! Have you? 😃
@ Well, I don't have any physical media of the original.
BOYCOTT THIS RACIST!!!!

yet youre gonna give it a 6.743829482984🤣🤣
I love that Andy and Kate are supporting! I miss seeing Kate McKinnan in anything.
1:08 I CAN'T - LOOOOOOOOOOOL.
I clutched my fking pearls 😂
😅
Looks amazing! We need an entire show just Kate McKinnon and Andy Sandberg as the married neighbours
Beautiful beautiful, just beautiful. Seeing this couple together ❤️
Sunita Mani is one of my favorite actress, I Love her!!!!!
Dark comedy, top-tier acting, and total chaos? This is going to be legendary 🔥🎭
Reboot of a classic!!!! My wife is going to love this😂 she loves the original. Well so do I,anything with Kathleen turner ❤❤❤
I LOVE THIS! ❤ Benedict and Olivia in a comedy. DEFINITELY watching this!
Olivia and Benedict, two of best actors of our times.
Then Kate and Andy two of the uhm🤔uhm relatively funny comedians of our time!
I love the matchup!
One funny trailer for sure.
The more times I see this trailer the more I want to see this movie. I ❤❤❤ Benedict cumberbatch
My two favorite actors! They are perfectly cast. Brilliant!
I too was keen to the remake of War of the Roses. However I think the refresh will actually be funnier and I can't wait to see it! Outstanding cast and two great leads!
Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman looks like Tom & Jerry in the movie, which it was one of the main reasons why I wanted to watch this movie.
I can't unsee it now
He's so beautiful 🫠 and I'll watch Olivia in literally anything.
This cast is royalty. Can't waittt
This has to be a film that I had never knew of but can't wait to see - I couldn't have said this for any other film in over ten years!
Okay okay okay… usually I’m against great classic films being remade.. but this is an interesting spin with quick British humour aplenty. I will watch happily.
I remember seeing the original in the cinema back in the 80's. God I'm old! 😆 this version looks really good . I will definitely watch ☺
This looks really promising! The Michael Douglas-Kathleen Turner "War of the Roses" was so dark and cold, I could not get into it, but this looks genuinely funny, fresh, and lively.
The book was like that as well and even darker. She did kill the dog and serve it to him
Divorce is dark and cold, it's not some light-heartedly romp.
Can we all agree this creator deserves more recognition
Benedict is brilliant actor! I can't wait for this movie!
When Andy appeared I knew this was gonna go from good to THE GREATEST.
I haven't laughed this hard at a trailer in YEEEAAARRSSSS😂😂😂😂😂
I can't wait for the full movie!!!! They don't make them like this anymore 😩😩😩
The gradual insanity I LOVED IT 😭
00:30 The most Andy Samberg moment.
No matter what im doing, no matter where i look, no matter where i go, there is always crabs in something, every single day. This trailer gave me a quadruple whammy of crabs in just 2 minutes! thankyou Searchlight, im cursed.
These two in the same movie? What a treat! 😄
War of the roses does not need a remake. It was perfect
Look at this cast!! Olivia! Benedict! Can't wait 🙂
I haven't laughed this hard from just a trailer. I fear I might pee my pants while watching the actual film 😂😂
OOF that green screen at 0:10
I don’t think it’s green screen. It does look weird, but that also could just be due to cameras becoming waaaaaay too good so it looks weird and soulless. Otherwise it might be the Volume.
was at the set, it isn’t green screen. it’s actually a really pretty beach
Dumbasses the comment is about the frame when the two actors are on the screen, not the previous shot of the beach
It's not a green screen. It was filmed in Salcombe, UK. And it's possible it looks like this due to light and camera settings.
I’m pretty sure the person means the moment of cumberbatch and Andy Samberg on the deck, which is definitely green screen. It’s a couple seconds later
Please please please be a good remake. My hopes are really high after this trailer.
If somebody got inside my head and pulled out some of my favorite actors and made a movie.. THIS would be the star cast..yes Ncuti Gatwa is there in that list because he is a promising and extremely talented actor and I cannot wait to see more of him
Oliva, Benedict and Ncuti in one movie??? Omg, a dream come true 🩷
andy and benedict in the same film count me in!!
Same, friend, same!! 🤩
Can't Wait for this Absolute Masterpiece !!!! Love ❤❤ you Benedict from the Bottom of my Heart !!!! RESPECT !!!!
1:55 close enough, welcome back Sinister Strange
LMAO
Wow. You had me at Benedict and Olivia. 🎉
I loved the version with Danny DeVito from the 80’s. I’m surprised someone hasn’t done this before now
Looks good
Two great performers onscreen! I can’t miss watching this in theatres.
the chemistry between benedict and olivia seems quite good
seems!
I saw Andy Samberg and I am already sold
I remember The War Of The Roses, great movie
0:15 Oh my God, that's Salcombe! I live near there!
I love seeing Benedict Cumberbatch like this❤😂
Just take my money. You had me at crabs in the bath.
I nearly choked 😂
I loved how olivia and benedict in this comedy ❤❤❤❤
I ve had this on repeat all day
Comedy and romance like never before. Can't wait to watch. ❤
This looks utterly fantastic! Olivia and Benedict together is a match made in heaven. So looking forward! ^^
Made in Devon apparently, which is quite heavenly, when the sun shines.
This is a remake of War of the Roses with Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. I loved the original. I can't wait to see this.
After everything we've been through recently, the Superwholock community needed this.
War of the Roses is one of my all time faves! This looks like it might do it justice.
Gosh Searchlight Pictures that nice of you to release the movie before trailer
It’s a remake. I’m pretty sure most folks know the story already.
Oh shut up. Do you know how it ends? Mind you, remake can change endings... Plus, it's a dark absurdist comedy, not a twisted thriller.
@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 do you get upset by every opinion on the internet?
You had me at the 2 leading actors! WOW! Can’t wait.
This is going to be GOOOOOD and long overdue.
A love a good remake, this is the perfect timing and cast.
