The Big Bang Theory‘s Jim Parsons stars in the emotional trailer of the upcoming movie Spoiler alert. Spoiler alert is based on the memoir of entertainment journalist Michael Ausiello. The book, titled Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Other Four-Letter Wordsdrives home the sadness behind the film’s title as it tells the story of Ausiello’s relationship with photographer Kit Cowan, beginning with their meeting, their life together and the final years of Cowan’s life when he battled cancer.
Spoiler alert stars Parsons as Ausiello, Ben Aldridge as Cowan and Sally Field as Cowan’s mother. The film is directed by Michael Showalter, and is even tonally reminiscent of The big sick, another true story the director tackled. Like The big sick, Spoiler alert wants to tell an emotionally charged story with a dose of humor, a balance between levity and tears.
Focus functions shared the trailer for Spoiler alert on YouTube, highlighting the tear-jerking stakes at the heart of the story. The trailer shows the audience the first meeting of Ausiello and Cowan before they embark on the uneasy and romantic courtship that led to their marriage, only for life to take the rug from under the couple when Cowan is diagnosed with cancer. As tears flow, the trailer helps to convey the importance of love and loss to the public.

The Spoiler alert trailer comes just like brothers brings LGBTQ+ representation to the fore. brothers is one of the first LGBTQ+ romcoms to be produced and distributed by a major studio. Most romantic comedies tend to have a straight couple as central protagonists, with most LGBTQ+ roles being those of side characters, to the point that it could be considered a genre trope. brothersand now Spoiler alertwant to change that.
Movies like Love, Simon, Happiest Seasonand Fire Island have also taken the lead in recent years. utilities, brothers has received overwhelmingly positive reviews, with a good amount of marketing behind the film, which could make it a hit despite its R rating, which limits audiences. Still, if brothers performs well, Spoiler alert and future movies like this could gain traction with mainstream audiences, bringing LGBTQ+ characters into the limelight. Audiences are eager to see Parsons in Spoiler alert can see the film in theaters on December 2.
