    Matt Damon: 'Liberace' Movie With Michael Douglas Will Be 'Great'

    Matt Damon is busy with his latest movie, "Contagion," but he's already looking ahead to one of his next projects, "Liberace."

    Access Hollywood caught up with the star at the "Contagion" New York premiere on Wednesday, where he talked about the upcoming biopic with Michael Douglas in the title role.

    "[It's] gonna be great," he said of the movie, where he'll play the famous singer/pianist's partner, Scott Thorson.

    Despite some prodding by Access, Matt made it clear that he and Michael haven't rehearsed any of the movie's more intimate moments.

    "We just get together on weekends and make out? No," Matt said, when asked if there has been any private time for him and Michael to get into character.

    "We were talking about getting together and reading some of the scenes, the parts are fantastic... It's really, really wonderful and we want to get it right," he added.

    "Liberace" is slated for a 2013 release and "Contagion" spreads into theaters on Friday.

      Matt Damon and Ben Affleck-- there's a story there we're not getting the full version of; maybe in 2050 some transitioning-into-middle-age pretty-boy leading man will want to do THAT biopic!

      I agree finally something original
      • Carl 8 mths ago
        Original? A movie about a famous musician/personality, a gay themed movie? Original compared to a remake but very still the usual especially for this era. And predictable because like with Brokeback Mountain and Capote you know one of these actors is already going to win an Oscar. Not that Hoffman and Heath didn't deserve their accolades but still.
      • Carl 8 mths ago
        And Milk with Sean Penn. Yeah Penn deserved his Oscar but one more Oscar for a gay role American movie and it'll be official - nothing more predictable. do you realize that's all American actors/movies are good for? Gay roles. We need to see a gay themed Holocaust movie starring Mel Gibson. Nothing brings out the Oscars like gay themes and the Holocaust so why not. Every actor will be chomping at the bit to star since they know they'll win an Oscar.

        Your avatar has a feather in his cap. THAT'S gay. I'll bet you call it macaroni.
    • Muhammad Muslim Pig  •  8 mths ago
      It won't be realistic unless they show him Bone Smuggling
      • Allan 8 mths ago
        so you are familiar with the concept?
      • bobby 8 mths ago
        Most of you make F. Gump look bright. They are actors taking on a very challenging part. Really stupid comments.
      • Blue Eyes James 8 mths ago
        Michael Douglas never smuggled a bone, he romanced it...!
    • Bill B  •  8 mths ago
      as a stage hand in the 1970's i worked the Liberace show about one hundred times. the greatest show i have ever seen. a great showman...and a big tipper! i hope they treat him well in the movie...a nice guy!

      Damon is an establishment sell out low-life. Anything to make that money right Demon. Sad...
    • van  •  8 mths ago
      box office flop. or should i say floppy disk. two floppy disks, one with throat cancer from smoking and the other pretending to be smoker of the .... flipping flop-a-zola. Will skip and run away from anyone that runs or has the runs after seeing this sappy #$%$ of a film
      • A Yahoo! User 8 mths ago
        floppy disks? what the hell are you talking about?
    • Diane  •  8 mths ago
      These two giants, Michael Douglas and Matt Damon will make a great team in their potrayal of the legend, Liberace. I fortunately had the privilege of watching Liberace on T.V. when I was very young and his talent was genius not to mention his flair.
    • snaps  •  8 mths ago
      who would wont to play a fag like that he makes me sick sorry gay is thing but this guy is ? yuk but thats the movies
    • marie  •  8 mths ago
      Damon looks cute bald and I don't particularly like bald headed men. I guess Micheal has all the hair in this movie. I won't go to see this movie because to see tow men kissing and making out whoever they are is not my thing. I don't watch shows on T.V. with this in it either. Just my opinion. Contagion was a big disappointment last night. And Damon is such a great actor but this movie was a thumbs down for me. Drug on and on for 2 hrs. but the ending was the best part.
    • Voodoo Boy  •  8 mths ago
      You know there's going to be "tulips on the organ" somehwhere in the movie.
    • Inkdup1961  •  8 mths ago
      Won't Ben Affleck be jealous?
    • Inkdup1961  •  8 mths ago
      A movie with Matt Damon smooching on Michael Douglas? I believe I'll pass.
    • den c  •  8 mths ago
      Michael Douglas looks almost fit enough to play a dead Liberace but he doesn't appear up to playing a live one.
    • Robert  •  8 mths ago
      Have they practiced takin' it up the tailpipe?
    • Libertarian  •  8 mths ago
      Don't go see ANY movie that VILE piece of liberal filth, Damon makes....why put money in this hypocrite's pocket ?
