Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman are set to feud in Jay Roach’s remake of The War of the Roses.

The synopsis for the film reads, “Life seems easy for picture-perfect couple Theo (CUMBERBATCH) and Ivy (COLMAN): successful careers, great kids, an enviable sex life. But underneath the façade of the perfect family is a tinderbox of competition and resentments that’s ignited when Theo’s professional dreams come crashing down. Marital bliss erupts into a hilariously ferocious battle of wills in this dark comedy about love, power, and the lengths we’ll go to win.”

The film is shooting in the United Kingdom.

Life seems easy for picture-perfect couple Theo (Cumberbatch) and Ivy (Colman): successful careers, great kids, an enviable sex life. But underneath the façade of the perfect family is a tinderbox of competition and resentments that’s ignited when Theo’s professional dreams come crashing down.

“The Roses is a wildly funny, bigger than life, and yet deeply human story,” said Searchlight President Matthew Greenfield. “With Jay at the helm, and Benedict and Olivia and Tony, we have a dream team bringing it to life.”

Singing, dancing, and music surrounded this lady princess in her youth. She herself learned to dance, to play instruments, and to love the music of the 13 minstrels retained by Edward IV for entertaining at court festivals. The minstrels' trumpets,shawms,small pipes, and strings added a professional component to her early musical education and became a vital, ever-present part of Elizabeth of York's life. As queen, Elizabeth retained her own minstrels quite separate from those of Henry VII⎯and rewarded them generously. Her own children played the lute, virginal, clavichord, and organ, while she herself played the clavichord (and perhaps other instruments). Her son Henry VIII became renowned for his singing, dancing, and composing. ⎺ Elizabeth of York (Queenship and Power), Arlene Okerlund

sirius black/severus snape explicit read from the beginning here masterpost | author's notes | moodboard

chapter one: enif

there is blood under the fingernail of his thumb, from constantly worrying a scab. there is blood on the kitchen floor, where kreacher has failed to clean up the viscera of a dead mouse. there is a crystal vial of blood - black blood, pure and congealing - in the drawing room, set with a magnificent opal. there is blood in his mouth as he bites down on his dry, splitting lip as he walks past his mother’s portrait, because if he gives in to the urge to scream at her then he will never stop.

how funny, then, that a day with so much blood in it should be the day on which he does not die.

a butterfly flaps its wings, a potions master gets punched in the face, and sirius black does not go to the department of mysteries.

Favourite Tudor Lad...

Tudor week 2023.

Brought to you by @dailytudors! 🌹

Q: favourite male Tudor family member?

A: Henry VII of England. He won the war of the roses (with his mothers and many other women’s help). He established the Tudor line and very clearly loved his wife Elizabeth of York immensely. I definitely recommend reading up on him and the legacy of the war of the roses, also, credit where credit is due, Elizabeth of York and Lady Margaret were absolutely badass women.

the war of the roses - a snippet

sirius black/severus snape explicit

here's a wee look at the next chapter of the war of the roses - and its musing on relief, reality, and luck.

and blood, obviously. that seems to be a theme...

He wants to run around - to race up and down the stairs in a constant loop, to do anything other than sit still and feel mingled fear and relief pumping round his body, like it’s formed in his bone marrow and leaked out into his blood.

Harry is safe, rattles his left ventricle.

A dozen Death Eaters were waiting to slaughter him, is the rejoinder from the right.

Harry is safe -

For now.

Harry is safe -

Until next time.

Harry is safe.

Dumbledore is bringing him to Grimmauld Place and Harry is safe.

It doesn’t occur to him to remember that Snape was also there - the crags and peaks of his face made all the starker by the opalescent sheen of Dumbledore’s Patronus - when the message came until Snape is already gone, has already slunk back into the shadows of the outside world.

Fucking cunt, Sirius thinks to himself. He’s probably furious that Harry isn’t dead.

Easier that - the old dance, the old hatred. Easier to think about Snape chuckling malevolently over Harry’s corpse - the way he probably did for James, he’d fucking hated James - than to interrogate the sudden longing, prickling unwelcomely over the gooseflesh of his skin, sticky and grimy with humidity and panic, to grab Snape by his skinny (skinny but surprisingly strong, as he’d discovered when they were rolling around tearing at each other) upper arms and use him as an anchor. He could ground himself, he thinks, with the scrub of cheap wool under the palms of his hands, with the painful familiarity of that horrible nose. He could reassure himself that this was all real by the heat emanating from Snape’s body.

He touches his finger to his lip, wincing as he finds it split and swollen. Blood clings to the whorls of his fingertip when he draws it away.

Snape gave him this injury. Snape jabbed at him with sharp knuckles forged in a Muggle slum and made him bleed, and then Snape scarpered the second he heard Harry was okay.

Cunt.

Which means it’s real.

When he was eighteen - strutting around, all cocksure and floppy-haired, in the body of a boy who no longer exists - he’d never have understood that the relief of knowing - of totally and incontrovertibly knowing - that someone isn’t dead - that, for once, one of the Order’s rag-tag missions, held together by nothing more than piss and vinegar, hasn’t ended with someone being lowered into the ground, hollow and tiny in their linen shroud - would be so exhausting. He would have expected to want to celebrate - to open champagne and scream fuck you at the top of his lungs, on the off-chance that it could penetrate the solidity of Number Twelve and race along the wind until Lord Voldemort could hear it - not to collapse, to fall in upon himself like a dying star and want nothing more than to curl up and sob.

He would never have imagined that the roar of the Floo - depositing Dumbledore, grave and jewel-toned and immaculate, and Harry, covered in ash and sand, shell-shocked and fucking fifteen, in the kitchen - would make him long, for one intangible second, to be a child again, and to not know what was coming, and the emerald whoosh! to be his mother getting home to bollock him about something or other, while Reg stood behind her smirking and mouthing you’re a prick, and James lurked out of sight in the mirror in his breast pocket, and he could feel him giggling vibrating against his heart.
