Teaser trailer for Liberace biopic 'Behind the Candelabra' with Michael Douglas

HBO has a lot of big premieres on the way, but outside of Game of Thrones the biggest may be Steven Soderbergh's "final" film, the Liberace biopic Behind the Candelabra. Starring Michael Douglas as the famously flamboyant musician, with Matt Damon as his lover Scott Thorson, the film is based on the latter's autobiography about their secret five-year relationship.

A brief teaser trailer for the film has been released, and while it doesn't show any actual footage, it does promise a fairly upbeat tone and plenty of Liberace on the piano keys. Behind the Candelabra airs on Sunday night, May 26th.
