Matt Damon and Michael Douglas WILL Star in New Liberace Biopic

LiberaceA new film by Ocean’s Eleven director, Steven Soderbergh, will feature Michael Douglas playing the role of flamboyant musician Liberace.

Hollywood actor Matt Damon will be starring alongside Douglas as his lover, Scott Thorson, who sued the musician in 1992 for $113 million.

Although Thorson claimed that the couple had lived together for five years, Liberace had always denied that he was gay, but finally paid Thorson $95,000 in palimony. 

Damon said that the on screen kiss will not be a one off: “It’s scripted that there’s more than one”, he told E! Online.

Oscar winning director Soderbergh, also renowned for his 2008 Che Guevara biopic, has said that this film will be one of his last. He told US radio show Studio 360: “When you see those athletes hang on one or two seasons too long, it’s kind of sad.”

Liberace is not due to be released until 2013.
