Benedict Cumberbatch and Mark Ricker Tour the Incredible Home of ‘The Roses’
We’re heading into the home at the center of "The Roses", Fox Searchlight’s latest dark comedy starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman. This once-perfect cliffside home becomes the ultimate battleground as a couple’s divorce spirals out of control. From intimate nooks to grand living spaces, this beach house was designed to be loved—and then destroyed—in parallel this the dissolving marriage. And who better to show us around than Benedict Cumberbatch himself, who gives us a tour of the unforgettable home built entirely on set: "This is certainly worth fighting to the death for," Benedict comments as he tours the couple's set bedroom with a beautiful ocean view. The set home was brought to life in just eight weeks by one of Hollywood’s top production designers, Mark Ricker, who shares insights on the process of erecting the cliffside home of the film and described it as his vision of a dream home: "It truly was a house that came from my heart and passionately conceived one wall at a time". Enjoy!
