GLAAD caught up with the stars and filmmakers of the new film "Spoiler Alert" from Focus Features which is in select cities on December 2 and nationwide on December 9.
Based on Michael Ausiello’s best-selling memoir, "Spoiler Alert" is a heartwarming, funny, and life-affirming story that follows the 14-year love affair between entertainment journalist Michael (Jim Parsons) and his photographer partner, Kit (Ben Aldridge). Through Kit, Michael discovers the family he was robbed of as a child, from Kit’s small town parents (Sally Field and Bill Irwin) to their extraordinary circle of Manhattan friends. And while Michael imagines his life unfolding like the plot of one of his favorite romantic comedies, even he can’t predict the twists and turns that will transform and deepen their relationship.
In addition to speaking about the impact of making such an important film, Jim Parsons and Michael Ausiello expressed their excitement over the U.S. Senate passing the Respect for Marriage Act which will repeal the discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act and ensure that legally married same-sex and interracial couples are entitled to the same protections and recognition from the federal government as all other married couples.
