The upcoming
HBO bio-pic Behind The Candelabra about the life of Liberace directed by openly gay, Oscar-winning director
Steven Soderbergh is
getting huge buzz. It stars Oscar-winning
Michael Douglas as Liberace and
Matt Damon as his lover Scott Thorson who famously sued the flamboyant piano showman for palimony in the 1980s.
Soderbergh has said publicly that despite the participation of such famous, highly decorated film talent he could not find a single Hollywood studio to back his movie adapted from Thorson's revealing book
Behind The Candelabra: My Life With Liberace because they said it was "
too gay."
