Warren Adler comments, "I've received countless comments, letters, and emails from people who have read the book or seen the movie, many expressing their thanks for changing their lives in some way. Some confessed that they abandoned any idea of fighting over property in the course of their divorces. Best of all, some have told me that it caused reconciliation with their partners."
While the stage version of THE WAR OF THE ROSES continues its successful international tour, the highly-anticipated Hollywood film sequel, THE CHILDREN OF THE ROSES, also an adaptation of a novel by Adler, is being produced by Grey Eagle Films.

"We are in the midst of an equity raise to produce up to 4 other films adapted from master storyteller Warren Adler's treasure trove of more than 50 novels and 100 short stories and plays. All of his works deal with the conflicts and complexities of human relationships," said Jonathan R. Adler, CEO of Grey Eagle Films.
"The sequel bites into the issues of today," CEO Jonathan R. Adler points out. "This new battle is not about things, it is a fight to the heart of a family. This clash will determine who is worthy to get custody of the children."
THE WAR OF THE ROSES film made $160M in worldwide box office receipts in 1989, which in today's dollars is close to $330M.
