With successful careers, great kids, and enviable love life, Theo (Cumberbatch) and Ivy (Colman) seem to be a picture-perfect couple, but it all comes crashing down when Theo’s professional dreams fall apart, ruining the façade of their perfect family along the way.

Tony McNamara (Poor Things) wrote the script, drawing inspiration from Warren Adler’s novel The War of the Roses, which also inspired the 1989 adaptation led by Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. Adler Entertainment Trust CEO Jonathan R. Adler is looking forward to seeing Roach bring his father’s vision to life.

“Working with our partners at Searchlight Pictures in this reimagining of the classic movie is a dream come true. We are delighted to continue the legacy of our father’s brilliant work and introduce The War of the Roses to a new generation,” said Adler in a statement.

Cumberbatch is fresh of starring in Wes Anderson’s four adaptations of Roald Dahl’s short stories, including the Oscar-winning short The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar. As for Colman, she most recently appeared in Wonka and starred in the TV series Great Expectations and Secret Invasion.

Netflix has released the first teaser for The Crown in which The Favourite star actually speaks and she is just as perfect as the monarch as we imagined.

Colman took over from the role from Claire Foy, who played the Queen during the show’s first two seasons, as the series decided to take a time leap and focus on the royal reign during the ‘60s and ‘70s.

“A great many changes. Nothing one can do about it, one just has to get on with it,” Colman’s character says about the Britain over which she currently rules that is dealing with the effects of the Cold War and the race to the moon.

The new cast, who will debut in season 3, also includes Tobias Menzies, Helena Bonham Carter, Josh O’Connor, Erin Doherty, Ben Daniels, Jason Watkins, and Charles Dance.

The Crown returns on November 17th.

After years of making films in English, the Mexican filmmaker decided to go back to his Spanish roots with his latest film, Roma.

Shot in black and white, the movie follows two domestic workers who take care of a small family in the neighborhood of Roma and is based on the 56-year-old’s memories from growing up in the ‘70s.

Roma has now been named as the winner of the Golden Lion at the 75th annual Venice Film Festival, beating 21 other entries for the top prize.

“This award and this festival are incredibly important to me,” said Alfonso who thanked producer, David Linde, and Ted Sarandos and Scott Stuber of Netflix.

In a statement, Linde said, “This film is a gift to all audiences, transcending language and cultural barriers, and inspiring compassion across the globe.”

The festival’s other winners included Broadchurch actress, Olivia Colman, scooping up the Best Actress Award for her role in The Favourite which also claimed the Grand Jury Prize, while Murder on the Orient Express star, Willem Dafoe, took home Best Actor for portraying Vincent Van Gogh in At Eternity’s Gate.

Netflix has now released the first image of its new star of The Crown.

For the past two years, The Girl in the Spider’s Web actress, Claire Foy, portrayed the role of Queen Elizabeth II in the series which documents the monarch’s life from her marriage to Prince Phillip through to the birth of her third son.

With the show now moving into the latter year’s of the Queen’s life, Claire will be passing the baton on to Broadchurch star, Olivia Colman.

The first image of Olivia as Her Majesty has now emerged, showing the 44-year-old dressed in pink with a cup of tea in her hand.

The Crown was recently embroiled in a gender wage discrepancy debacle when it was discovered that Doctor Who star, Matt Smith, who played Prince Phillip, had been earning more than Miss Foy.

Following the reveal, producers promised that going forth, “no one would be paid more than the Queen,” meaning that Olivia will reap the rewards.

She will be joined by Toby Menzies of Outlander as the new Phillip, and Alice Through the Looking Glass actress, Helena Bonham Carter as Princess Margaret.

Season 3 of The Crown is expected to greet the public in 2019.
