DL headline had been changed to say 'Michael Douglas And Matt Damon To Play Liberace & Scott Thorson In HBO Movie Directed By Steven Soderbe Oleg Max Oct 11, 10:34

It has been broken by the DL TV person & has a quote from the president of HBO programming though {nm} medusa Oct 11, 10:22

Hmm, DL took down the full press release that was originally posted. Antibody Oct 11, 10:33

The Wrap has the full release still up. Soderbergh's quote also praises HBO's ability to pull in viewers... that sounds more like TV too imo medusa Oct 11, 10:36

'Elephant' and 'American Splendor' are both theatrically released films distributed by HBO films in partnership with TWC through Newline. {nm} stevie1der328 Oct 11, 10:22
