Michael Douglas to Play Liberace in New Biopic
11, Oct 2011
by Nigel Druitt
HBO has announced that Michael Douglas and Matt Damon will star in Behind the Candelabra, a biopic being directed by Steven Soderbergh. The film will focus on the relationship between flamboyant musician Liberace (Douglas) and his younger live-in lover, Scott Thorson (Damon).
One thing you can say about Soderbergh: He likes to keep his projects varied, if not his casts. Douglas previously worked with the director in Traffic, and Matt Damon seems to be replacing George Clooney as Soderbergh’s go-to guy (having worked with him most recently in Contagion).
Behind the Candelabra is from a script by Water for Elephants writer Richard LaGravenese. Production is due to start summer 2012 in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Palm Springs.

Do any of these films have a chance at becoming one of the best movies of all time?
Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole – watch the trailer ►
Animated owl movie directed by Zack Snyder and starring Jim Sturgess and Hugo Weaving. I think it looks like it’s at least worth a watch on the eventual Blu-ray.
Planning to see this movie, or already have? Directly rank it against these similar movies to see where it ranks for you amongst the best animal movies of all time:
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps – watch the trailer ►
Solid Cast (Shia LaBeouf, Josh Brolin, Michael Douglas and Carey Mulligan) but this sequel just feels completely unnecessary to me.
