As a film enthusiast who has spent countless hours immersed in the world of cinema, I must say that the upcoming movie “The Roses” has piqued my interest in a rather significant manner. The stellar cast alone is enough to make me anticipate this dark comedy with bated breath!
If you’re looking for your next dark comedy, then The Roses is the one for you, and this is what we know about it so far.
Discussing some top-notch dark comedies, we have a wealth to choose from. We could mention upcoming films in 2024 such as “Kinds of Kindness” and “Abigail”, or reminisce about timeless classics like “Heathers” and “Beetlejuice”. Another movie that’s set to join this esteemed group is “The Roses”, a modern take on the 1980s film, “The War of the Roses”.
With such a radiant name as “The Roses”, one might wonder how it could harbor darkness. What could its enigmatic tale possibly entail? Here’s what we’ve gathered thus far.
What Is The Roses Release Date?
By August 2024, the official release date for “The Roses” has not been determined yet, which is understandable given that it was just announced in April 2024 by Deadline and casting decisions were only recently confirmed. It wouldn’t be unexpected if a concrete release date hasn’t been set just yet.
Despite this, the year 2024 promises some notable films, including “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” another dark comedy, and the eagerly awaited romantic comedy “We Live In Time.” With several other movies on the horizon as well, it might be a silver lining that “The Roses” won’t compete with so many significant releases set to premiere soon.
The Roses Cast
In case you’re curious as to who will take the leading roles in the upcoming movie “The Roses“, we’ve got you covered. An article published by Deadline in April 2024 has revealed the two principal actors for this film, and chances are, they are already familiar names to you.
Benedict Cumberbatch as Theo
It’s officially confirmed that Benedict Cumberbatch will take on the role of Theo, the main character in “The Roses.” Known for his long-standing career, Cumberbatch has garnered significant recognition not just for his compelling portrayal of Sherlock Holmes in the TV series “Sherlock,” but also for his memorable performance as Doctor Strange within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Among Benedict Cumberbatch’s most notable roles are found in movies such as “The Imitation Game,” “The Theory of Everything,” “12 Years a Slave,” “Atonement,” “The Power of the Dog,” and others.
Olivia Colman as Ivy
Additionally, it’s been verified that Olivia Colman will portray Ivy in “The Roses” and share the screen with Cumberbatch. Known for her exceptional talent, Colman has graced both the big and small screens in numerous films and series.
Among the outstanding films I admire featuring Olivia Colman are “The Favourite,” “The Father,” “The Lost Daughter,” “Wonka,” and “The Lobster,” to name a few. She graced our screens for two seasons in “The Crown” and has taken on roles in series like “Heartstopper” and “Broadchurch,” among others.
Additional The Roses Cast Members
In addition to being familiar with the roles played by Cumberbatch and Colman, a number of other prominent actors have joined the cast for The Roses, as per Deadline’s report from June 2024. Among them are:
- Kate McKinnon
- Andy Samberg
- Ncuti Gatwa
- Sunita Mani
- Zoë Chao
- Jamie Demetriou
- Belinda Bromilow
As I’m typing this, the character names for the cast haven’t been finalized yet, and we’re unsure of who will be portraying whom, but what we do know is that it’s an impressive lineup. Kate McKinnon, recognized for her work on SNL and other comedic roles like her character in the Barbie cast, is part of this ensemble.
Besides his role on Saturday Night Live, Andy Samberg has ventured into various comedic movies such as Palm Springs, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, Hotel Transylvania Series, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, where he was a prominent cast member.
Ncuti Gatwa is recognized for his performances in the “Sex Education” series and currently holds the title of The Doctor on “Doctor Who.” Sunita Mani has made appearances in shows like “GLOW” and “Mr. Robot.” More recently, Zoë Chao portrayed a character in “Strangers” and was featured in “The Afterparty,” one of the top-rated shows on Apple TV+.
Jamie Demetriou is an English actor recognized for his part in the popular series Fleabag, while also featuring in films such as Strays, Cruella, among others. On the other hand, Belinda Bromilow was a cast member on The Great, one of Hulu’s top-tier shows, and has been seen on Doctor Doctor too.
This cast makes me that much more excited for The Roses, and now I can’t wait to see it.
What Is The Roses About?
In summary, you’ve reviewed the cast but are curious about the plot of the film, which is a modern adaptation of “The War of the Roses,” originally released in 1989 and directed by Danny DeVito. According to recent reports, the movie will focus on characters Theo (portrayed by Cumberbatch) and Ivy (Colman).
They appear to be thriving in their careers, have a strong family bond, and seem to have a harmonious private life – at least from the outside. However, beneath this facade lies an undercurrent of “rivalry and bitterness,” which intensifies significantly when Theo’s professional life encounters a setback.
I am already interested. Now let’s get a trailer.
Jay Roach Will Direct
According to an article published in April 2024 by Deadline, Jay Roach will be directing the film titled “The Roses.” Known for his exceptional skills in comedy direction, it’s quite plausible that this project fits perfectly with his expertise.
The director is famed for the “Austin Powers” movies, yet he has also helmed numerous other significant comedies and dramas, such as “Bombshell,” “Trumbo,” “Dinner for Schmucks,” “Meet The Parents,” and others.
Filming Is Ongoing As Of June 2024
In June of 2024, Deadline announced that the filming for “The Roses” had commenced. During CineEurope 2024, it was disclosed that production on this movie actually started a week earlier, specifically around mid-June. As such, it’s clear that filming is currently underway. While we don’t have specifics about the release date at this time, let’s hope for some updates shortly.
As a gamer, I can’t wait to immerse myself into the world of The Roses. It seems like just the ticket to tickle my funny bone and maybe even shed a tear or two with its dark comedy.
