HBO has released a fresh teaser for "Behind the Candelabra," Steven Soderbergh's Liberace bio-pic starring Michael Douglas as the flamboyant entertainer and Matt Damon as his long-term lover Scott Thorson.
While the fast-paced 30 second clip is literally just a tease, it's also the most in-depth look the network has revealed yet at the film set to premiere Sunday, May 26.
Co-star Dan Aykroyd is briefly seen in the teaser, and the film's cast also includes Rob Lowe, Debbie Reynolds, Scott Bakula, Paul Reiser, Nicky Katt and Cheyenne Jackson.
After the disappointment of HBO's recent original movie, "Phil Spector," the network is likely counting on "Candelabra" to deliver their customary Emmy gold. »

Linklater, who was 31 when he made the movie, told EW that he’d wanted to make the flip side of a John Hughes movie. “The drama is so low-key in Dazed. I don’t remember teenage being that dramatic. »

Or maybe, in some beautiful reality, Scott Norwood didn’t miss that field goal in the Super Bowl against the New York Giants. The possibilities are tantalizing because they are literally endless.
