I saw this last night on ET Canada and am I the only one that can't wait to see this? I'm going to be the first one to say I'm shocked if this bring this to the theaters. Perhaps it's going to be very closeted? Hmm I wonder, so... Dying to see this, my dawwwllliiinss!
This is no longer a rumour, so what I’m about to announce here is
true. Matt Damon and Michael Douglas are going to star in a movie about
Liberace, and his gay lover Scott Thorson
Liberace
The Liberace Movie is the latest directorial venture undertaken by
acclaimed and renowned movie maker Steven Soderbergh. Not sure why Damon
feels compelled to play the role of the gay lover, but it is indeed
true Douglas and Damon will share many on-screen kisses in the movie.
Set gaydar to auto-detect.
The movie is based on Liberace, and his boy-toy Scott Thorson,
Liberace’s 24-year-old bodyguard, limo driver and companion of 5 years.
Shit got real when Scott Thorson, took the entertainer to court, suing
from $113 million in palimony. Liberace continued to deny any
allegations, and although Thorson’s claim was largely unsuccessful, he
did receive a $95,000 settlement. You know what? Sounds like Thorson had
a bad lawyer.
The pianist was diagnosed with AIDS in 1986 and was hospitalised in
January of 1987 with suspected anemia. He died just a couple of weeks
later. Though his condition was never made public, an autopsy following
his death confirmed that Liberace died from AIDS. Yep, real shocker,
AIDS.
I'm really curious now to see Michael Douglas do this because he's just so...straight! LOL :) Matt Damon will be just fine ;)
