Supernova Summary
MPAA Rating: PG13
Director: Thomas Lee
Genres: Science Fiction
Rating:
In the early years of the 22nd century, a medical rescue team is traveling the netherworlds of deep space, waiting to answer emergency calls aboard what amounts to an interstellar ambulance. Captain Marley (Robert_Forster), pilot Vanzant (James_Spader), medical officer Evers (Angela_Bassett), medical technician Penalosa (Lou_Diamond_Phillips), paramedic Lund (Robin_Tunney), and computer technician Sotomejor (Wilson_Cruz) pick up a distress signal from a group of workers involved in a mining operation on a comet. But as they move in for a rescue, they discover that this isn't the mission of mercy they were expecting. They pick up Larson (Peter_Facinelli), a mysterious and menacing man with a strange alien artifact, who draws the ship into the orbit of a huge star that is due to explode into a supernova at any time. Supernova had a production history that can be charitably described as "troubled." Australian filmmaker Geoffrey_Wright was replaced by Walter_Hill shortly before filming began. Actor Vincent D'Onofrio left the project shortly after Wright, replaced by Cruz. Hill then left the project in post-production and requested that his name be removed from the film. Francis_Ford_Coppola was hired to supervise a final re-cut, nearly a year after the completion of photography. Mark Deming, Rovi
