Jim Parsons & Ben Aldridge discuss SpoilerAlertMovie & filming their most difficult scenes first
Based on executive producer Michael Ausiello’s best-selling memoir, Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies, the romantic drama, Spoiler Alert, stars Jim Parsons as Ausiello, an entertainment writer who has a rom-com-worthy meet-cute with photographer Kit Cowan, portrayed in the film by Ben Aldridge. Like the memoir, the heartbreaking holiday movie chronicles the couple’s love story from their first fated moment, to their last, when Kit is diagnosed with terminal cancer.
PARSONS: Yeah, I think for both of us, that was a major reason this was so intriguing to do and a reason to want to be a part of it, was that it did depict not just a gay relationship, but a relationship in general through, perhaps more highs and lows than one is expecting to see in a film, but one should for sure expect in real life. And that was very satisfying to get to play that many different temperatures and variations of what they were going through.
Michael [Ausiello] was on set a lot, I think every day. What was it like actually having him there watching? Because as a performer, I would like to think you want to create some distance to make the character your own. But these are real people. Can you talk about that dynamic? I always find it funny watching club scenes in movies because I know everyone in those scenes has to be super quiet. There's no music actually playing. You're trying to dance and you're trying to make it believable but it's as fake as it can be. Can you talk about filming those, a scene like that?
When you are looking at a script and you're getting ready to shoot, do you like preparing everything before the shoot begins, as an actor? Or are you preparing certain things? How does it actually work before you step on set for each of you?
