Benedict Cumberbatch & Olivia Colman Talk About Working On The Roses
During the promotion tour of the film, the lead actors spoke about their film. Benedict said, “I played Theo Rose, an architect, and it was such a wonderful piece of writing that kind of acts itself. We had a supremely talented cast and the best tennis partner you could possibly want to play opposite (Olivia Coleman). As the film focuses on broken relationships but takes a fun route to put the theme across, he also added, “The sort of panacea to any conflict in any relationship is laughter.”

Speaking about her bond with her co-star, Olivia said, “I was excited to go to work every day because I was playing opposite Ben. We held hands, went in together, and just had a ball, poor Jay (the director) had to keep us focused and rattle our attention to work.”
The lead actors Benedict Cumberbatch & Olivia Colman also turned producers for the film along with director Jay Roach. The film also stars Andy Samberg and Kate McKinnon in the cast. The Roses is scheduled to be released in the United States by Searchlight Pictures on August 29, 2025.
