Kathleen Turner is here for the delicious divorce drama.
Turner, 71, starred in 1989’s “The War of the Roses” opposite Michael Douglas, and she’s given her full support to a retelling of the story with Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch. "The Roses" opens in theaters Aug. 29.
“I do plan to see ’The Roses’ at the premiere in NYC,” Turner tells USA TODAY exclusively in emailed comments ahead of the Aug. 25 event. “Should be fun and I have a bet with myself that they don’t die.”
In “The War of the Roses,” an adaptation of Warren Adler’s novel, love briefly bloomed between Barbara (Turner) and Oliver Rose (Douglas) and then quickly devolved into a contemptuous divorce.
