Today's issue of Variety reports that director Steven Soderbergh ("Traffic," "Erin Brokovich") is in the early stages of developing a film about Liberace and has drafted his "Traffic" star Michael Douglas to play the flamboyant pianist.

If he pulls this off, get ready to give this guy his second acting Oscar!

Soderbergh is also in discussions with Matt Damon to play Scott Thorson, the man who sued Liberace in 1982 for $113 million in palimony, claiming he was the entertainer's companion for five years. Liberace always denied that he was gay, He died in 1987 of complications from AIDS at age 67.
