Jim Parsons of Sheldon will star in the new film "spoiler Alert: the protagonist is dead" (Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies), focusing on a gay couple facing a terminal illness together. Focus Pictures has just won the film after a competition, and Michael Showalter (serious illness) directed and participated in the production. The film, adapted from the biography of Michael Ausiello, chairman and editorial director of the US TV news website TVLine.com, is described as "a heartbreaking tragicomedy about love and loss": Ausiello's boyfriend Kit Cowan is diagnosed with terminal cancer and dies. The life descriptions of the two men in the last 11 months are intertwined with fragments of their previous encounter and acquaintance, and have spent 14 years with them. They overcome many obstacles to find true love, and together they have to face the biggest challenge in life.
