What This Means For The Roses
There’s More Looming Beneath The Surface
The originalWar of the Rosesmovie , which starred Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner , explored the progressively ridiculous ways the central fiber seek to tear apart their marriage during savage divorce proceedings . However , The Rosesalready seems to be taking a clearly different glide slope , as the primary characters have different names and the woman , Ivy , is the calling - minded one . This positions the newfangled picture to be its own project , one that can appeal to innovative audiences while telling a familiar and humourous tale .
The image above evoke director Jay Roach has givenThe Rosesa quaint , picturesque feel , potential to extend a uproarious direct contrast between Ivy and Theo ’s initial domestic bliss and their imminent chaotic collapse . By so far concenter instead on the passion between Cumberbatch andColman ’s characters , it seemsThe Roseswishes to mess with viewer expectation , at least when it comes to its merchandising . An prescribed trailer will likely reveal more of their acrimonious stock split .
Our Take On The Roses Images
This Is One To Be Excited For
Just from the mould inclination alone , I was already very activated forThe Roses , butthese first images have only increase my interest . Colman ’s comedic chops have been on presentation several times recently , fromher stint inPaddington in PerutoWicked Little Letters , but Cumberbatch has for the most part stuck to more spectacular roles . The idea of a comedy wherein the two acclaimed worker go down out of love and undermine each other in absurd fashion is a very tempting one , and the above image paint a pictorial matter of a well - constructed , gorgeous movie . Hopefully , more details aboutThe Roseswill be shared shortly .
