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. 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.

Short filmTranscript
00:01For you, dear, I'd do anything.
00:04I do believe that's true.
00:06It really is.
00:08Theo Rose, my favorite architect.
00:11How's married life?
00:13The kids are amazing.
00:14We're going to the beach!
00:15Alright, don't drown.
00:16Ivy, it's a monster success.
00:18Would you do a photo shoot from New York Magazine?
00:20Nude?
00:21I don't think so.
00:22Well, I'll do it anyway.
00:24But you are still a failure.
00:26You got fired.
00:28Fired?
00:29I sense trouble.
00:31How was your day?
00:32The neighbor's dog shat in the laundry.
00:34The kids have got knit together and my left eye's twitching.
00:36More champagne for me, please.
00:38If you need a shoulder or an inner thigh to lean on.
00:42What?
00:43I'm kidding.
00:50Everybody seems to think we hate each other.
00:52I suppose sometimes I do hate you.
00:54Ah, sporadic hatred.
00:57It's infused with tarragon and it adds a bit of bitterness.
01:00Ivy likes to leave a little bit of herself in everything she does.
01:03I love this fun banter you guys do.
01:05Sometimes Ivy's mad at me and I can't even tell.
01:07Sometimes he's got his cock in me and I can't even tell.
01:10You blow a fool.
01:13We are done.
01:14I say when we're done.
01:16I just want the house.
01:18I built it.
01:19Oh, you're not having the house.
01:22We want everything.
01:23And he walks out of here with his face still attached.
01:25Right, Bruno?
01:26Wow!
01:27You're a bottomless pit of need!
01:29You're just making me madder!
01:30I get this port.
01:43Jesus, no.
01:45Jesus, no.
01:46Hmm.
01:56Things are getting a little out of hand.
01:57Oh, you think?
02:03I don't think you have the capacity to fix your problems.
02:06Are you actually allowed to say that?
02:11That seems unprofessional.
02:13Yes.
02:14Like, mild practice.
02:15Ah.
02:16We'll be expecting a hefty discount.
02:18Hmm.
