I could never look at a chandelier the same way after this film.

Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Coleman are set to star in a remake of the 1989 film "War of the Roses."

The original dark comedy starred Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner as a married couple who make each other's lives a living hell when they begin the divorce process.

The dark comedy was a massive success, earning the top spot at the box office on opening weekend.

The remake, "The Roses," follows picture-perfect couple Theo and Ivy, who have successful careers, great kids, and an enviable sex life. But underneath the façade of the perfect family is a tinderbox of competition and resentment that's ignited when Theo's professional dreams come crashing down.

No word on when the film will be released.

Watch the trailer for the original below.
