I first told you about Supernovalast October -- it's a romantic drama about an older gay couple, played by Stanley Tucci and Colin Firth, who go on a road trip to see relatives because Tucci is beginning to lose his memory. When I told you about the movie then, without having seen a single second of it, I said and I quote, "Are you crying already? I'm basically crying already." Well today the trailer for Supernova arrived and I'd totally forgotten what the plot was and I got about one minute into it and started grotesquely weeping, snot running down my face and everything. So that's where I am! Basically exactly where I thought I'd be! Here's the trailer:
There's already some conversation attaching itself to this movie about it being two straight actors again taking gay roles away from gay actors, but, I mean... Tucci and Firth are Honorary Homosexuals at this point, aren't they? They've played gay so many times now, even way back in the wayback machine when that wasn't supposed to be good for one's career. Now it is pretty good for one's career though, I'd say. And they look heartbreaking in this so I can't wait. Supernova is about to play some festivals, hence the trailer -- we don't have a release date yet but I hope we will soon. I will obviously keep you informed!
