Terrific Full Trailer For Soderbergh’s Liberace Biopic ‘Behind The Candelabra’

We’ve already had a rather underwhelming teaser for Steven Soderbergh’s take on the last years of flamboyant entertainer, Liberace, in the HBO movie, BEHIND THE CANDELABRA. Now we’re able to bring you the brand new full trailer which gives us the first look at a pitch perfect Michael Douglas as the late musician and Matt Damon as his younger lover Scott Thorson.  The film centres on the tempestuous relationship between the two during their secret five-year affair which ended in 1987 following Liberace’s death at the age of 67 from the AIDS virus.

BEHIND THE CANDELABRA premieres on the acclaimed US cable network on the 26th May. There is no word yet on a UK release or channel but expect Sky Atlantic to land the rights. It co-stars Rob Lowe, Dan Ackroyd, Debbie Reynolds and is based on the same-titled biography by Thorson.
