Oscar winning director Steven Soderbergh said Friday (4 January) that he was 'stunned' when every single major Hollywood studio passed on making his movie Behind the Candelabra which will air on HBO this spring.
The movie tells the story of the flamboyant star Liberace and his relationship with a much younger man named Scott Thorson.
'They said it was too gay,' Soderbergh told Gay Star News and other outlets during the annual Television Critics Association winter press tour in Pasadena.
