Kathleen Turner is here for the delicious divorce drama.<\/p>\n

Turner, 71, starred in 1989\u2019s \u201cThe War of the Roses\u201d opposite Michael Douglas, and she\u2019s given her full support to a retelling of the story with Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch.<\/a> “The Roses”<\/a> opens in theaters Aug. 29.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do plan to see \u2019The Roses<\/a>\u2019 at the premiere in NYC,\u201d Turner tells USA TODAY exclusively in emailed comments ahead of the Aug. 25 event. \u201cShould be fun and I have a bet with myself that they don\u2019t die.\u201d<\/p>\n

In \u201cThe War of the Roses,\u201d an adaptation of Warren Adler\u2019s novel, love briefly bloomed between Barbara (Turner) and Oliver Rose (Douglas) and then quickly devolved into a contemptuous divorce.<\/p>\n

Barbara, for example, turned their lawn into a demolition derby in the Danny DeVito-directed film, crushing Oliver\u2019s antique car with her SUV (with Oliver inside). Oliver shockingly held Barbara captive inside of their mansion.<\/p>\n

In the final minutes of the original movie, Barbara and Oliver have found themselves stranded on a grand chandelier over their foyer, giving way to the weight. The chandelier comes crashing down, and in their last few moments alive, Oliver puts his hand on Barbara\u2019s shoulder. She musters her remaining energy to brush it off.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember that sometimes the anger seemed too real, so we made a pact that no one left set without hugging the others!” Turner says. “I don\u2019t think these are the feelings brought up by divorce \u2212 at least I surely hope not.”<\/p>\n

Cumberbatch, 49, reciprocates Turner\u2019s enthusiasm. He says he and Colman \u201cloved\u201d the original movie. \u201cIt was an iconic film that we both remember from our youth,\u201d he says, adding, \u201cand (we\u2019re) big Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas fans.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the \u201cThe Roses,\u201d directed by Jay Roach, Ivy Rose (Colman) experiences unexpected success as a chef and restaurateur, which her husband Theo Rose (Cumberbatch), an out-of-work and disgraced architect, begins to resent.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lovely thing we got to do is the range of everything you could want from a couple in that situation: the glorious humor, the love, even a little bit of an action scene or two, and some pretty full-on authentic, heartbreaking moments as well,\u201d Cumberbatch says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kathleen Turner is here for the delicious divorce drama.
