Supernova was a 2000 science fiction film, from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer/United Artists. The film was written by David C. Wilson, William Malone and Daniel Chuba and directed by Walter Hill, credited as "Thomas Lee."
Though Hill was chiefly responsible for principal photography, Jack Sholder directed some reshoots, and Francis Ford Coppola was called in to supervise re-editing to try to produce a releasable film. "Thomas Lee" was chosen as a directorial pseudonym for release, as the name Alan Smithee had become too well-known as a badge of a film being disowned by its makers.
The cast featured James Spader as Nick Vanzant, Angela Bassett as Kaela Evers, Robert Forster as A.J. Marley, Lou Diamond Phillips as Yerzy Penalosa, Peter Facinelli as Karl Larson, Robin Tunney as Danika Lund, and Wilson Cruz as Benjamin Sotomejor. This movie was shot by cinematographer Lloyd Ahern and scored by composers David C. Williams and Burkhard Dallwitz.
Supernova received a MPAA rating of PG-13, and was filmed in color with DTS sound.
[edit] Plot summary
In the distant future, a medical spaceship called the Nightingale 229 encounters a distress call, and jumps through about 4,000 light-years to a dying star's system. There the crew finds a strange survivor with a mysterious alien artifact.
The survivor starts to kill the ship's crew and sabotage the ship, and the artifact turns out to be a doomsday device made of 9th-dimensional matter.
