\nThe actors have known each other for decades. According to Tucci, that made the rigors of this wrenching dementia drama almost effortless. In \u201cSupernova,\u201d Stanley Tucci and Colin Firth play Tusker and Sam, an intellectual couple who are facing down the deteriorating oblivion of memory loss: Tusker, a novelist, has hit his 60s, and is suffering early-onset dementia, while Sam, a concert pianist, can\u2019t do anything but watch his partner fade away. It was the actors\u2019 20-year-long friendship, coupled with the erudite direction of filmmaker Harry Macqueen, that made grappling with such difficult subject matter easy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe love each other. We\u2019ve been friends for 20 years. We\u2019ve experienced each other\u2019s pain, and we\u2019ve watched our kids grow up together,\u201d Tucci said. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of water under that bridge, and that bridge has only become stronger still. It\u2019s the kind of working experience that could make or break a friendship. But in our case, it strengthens it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actors met on the set of Frank Pierson\u2019s WWII drama \u201cConspiracy\u201d playing Nazis; since then, Tucci said, they\u2019ve share that ineffable, alchemical connection that defines so many platonic relationships. Thats why it was nearly effortless for them to push it into a romance for \u201cSupernova.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
