Following in the footsteps of Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner, whose chemistry blazed through the screen in the 1989 original, the pair play a married couple whose increasingly bitter separation explodes into comically exaggerated resentment and hatred. In the film, the married couple's family name is Rose, and the title is an allusion to the battles between the warring houses of York and Lancaster who were contending for the English throne during the late Middle Ages The remake, called simply The Roses, is being directed by Jay Roach, who previously worked on the Austin Powers comedies, and scripted by Poor Things writer Tony McNamara.
