Stanley Tucci and Colin Firth's Friendship Sets the Stage for "Supernova" Love Story

Stanley Tucci and Colin Firth first met while filming the 2001 HBO film, "Conspiracy," and have been friends ever since. “We’ve seen each other through some very difficult times that each of us have had personally," Tucci told Vanity Fair. "Things like that only make your relationship deeper, richer.” Now they're reuniting for "Supernova," a poignant love story about a couple who travels through England's Lake District as they try to deal with a diagnosis of early-onset dementia. When Tucci received the script, he knew Firth was the one to play opposite his character. Long days of filming aren't so bad when you're with a good friend, according to Tucci. “He’d [Firth] come over after we shot and we’d have dinner and talk about the movie or talk about whatever, like we normally do." When filming wrapped each week, Tucci and Firth would “take the train back home to see our wives and kids on a Friday night. And that train from Lake District can be quite long, five hours or something. But we’d sit together on the train and continue talking and have a bottle of wine or something.” Watch the trailer for "Supernova" (in theaters Jan. 29 and VOD Feb. 16) here.
