Description

It's bonus time again here on Soundtracking, as director Jay Roach and writer Tony McNamara join me to discuss their collaboration on The Roses - a reimagining of the classic 1989 black comedy, The War Of The Roses. Starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Coleman - with stellar support from the likes of Zoe Chao, Kate McKinnon and Ncuti Gatwa - it tells the story of a successful couple whose seemingly pitch-perfect marriage starts falling apart. It's scored by Theodore Shapiro, and also features two covers performed by Jay's wife, Susanna Hoffs from The Bangles in the company of Rufus Wainwright & Eric Johnson.



We also have a wonderful little clip with The Director of Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, Simon Curtis talking about working with composer John Lunn.  You can watch the whole interview with Simon and some of the cast over on our YouTube Channel, Soundtracking Extra.
