We share a lot of the same agents, I think, and it all came together in a kismet way in a very short time, actually, from when we first started talking with each other. I was instantly attracted to working with Tony. I’d been a real fan of his TV show, “The Great,” and I knew about “Poor Things,” but it hadn’t come out yet. I’d seen “The Favourite.” Then I thought about Benedict and Olivia inhabiting those great characters."Upon its release on August 29, 2025, The War of the Roses met with mostly mixed critical response and minted $51 million at the box office globally.Stay tuned to Soap Central for more such stories.
