I haven’t read the book, but a film adaptation (with an abbreviated title, Spoiler Alert), scripted by actor David Marshall Grant and gay advice columnist Dan Savage, has been released in theaters.
He then took Kit’s wedding band from his pocket and took his own off, thanked Kit, and threw them in the river.There’s something naggingly cheeky about the title of TV entertainment journalist Michael Ausiello’s memoir, Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies - it’s the story of Ausiello’s 14-year relationship with photographer Kit Cowan and Cowan’s untimely death from a rare form of cancer. Kit’s parents chartered the ferry he loved to take, and from which Ausiello scattered Kit’s ashes into the Susquehanna River. At the end of the book, Ausiello writes about going back to Millersburg, Pa., where Kit’s parents lived, for Kit’s local memorial reception.
Ausiello tells TIME that that decision really came down to timing. I felt like the story benefited from that authenticity.”Ī few moments in the movie differ from the book, especially when it comes to the ending. Everything from my Smurf collecting to my Diet Coke obsession and my body issues. He adds, “I think what people respond to in the book is the little things, the details, and the specifics of the relationship that Kit and I shared. He remembers suggesting Felicity and Gilmore Girls: “Those weren’t necessarily what was scripted out of the gate, but I felt that we should be faithful to the story in those cases.” Ausiello, a TV journalist by trade and creator of the website TVLine, says the details he was most scrupulous about were which TV shows Michael in the movie would be obsessed with and should be referencing.
Ausiello tells TIME that the team-screenwriters David Marshall Grant and Dan Savage, along with Showalter-welcomed his involvement and allowed him to be a part of every step of the movie-making process.
