Ncuti Gatwa, our brilliant Doctor, is set to dazzle in “The Roses,” a reimagining of the iconic 1989 dramedy “The War of the Roses.” He joins an ensemble cast led by the incomparable Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch. Jay Roach takes the helm, directing from a script by Tony McNamara.

Colman and Cumberbatch play Ivy and Theo, a seemingly perfect couple whose marriage unravels into a bitter divorce. The film promises the same dark humor and biting satire, but with a fresh, contemporary twist.

Adding to the stellar lineup are Kate McKinnon, Andy Samberg, Sunita Mani, Zoë Chao, Jamie Demetriou, and Belinda Bromilow. This all-star cast is bound to deliver a riveting performance.

Director Roach admits initial skepticism about the remake, being a fan of the original. However, McNamara’s sharp writing and the exceptional cast have transformed his doubt into excitement. Matthew Greenfield of Searchlight Pictures echoes this sentiment, praising the remarkable and hilariously talented group assembled.

With this dream team, “The Roses” is poised to be a modern, relatable, and wildly entertaining take on the classic tale of love and divorce.
