The film based on his memoir will follow the tragic love story of the journalist who saw his partner, Kit Cowan, slowly die of a terminal diagnosis of cancer over 11 months. The film will hit theaters on December 2.
The Spoiler Alert trailer starts off as a typical rom-com to set up the relationship. Slowly, it starts to reveal itself as a love story as it goes into how the couple coped with the cancer diagnosis of Cowan. The film is directed by Michael Showalter (The Big Sick). David Marshall Grant (A Million Little Things) and Dan Savage (It Gets Better) penned the script based on the 2017 memoir of the same name. The book details the 13 years the two were together and the last year of his partner’s life before he died of the rare form of cancer in February 2015.
