Nicolas Cage to play Liberace
Nicolas Cage, now there's a name you don't associate with camp stage entertainment, much less good movie nowadays, however strange it might sound though his name is associated with a Liberace movie, with Cage producing and starring.
The story from TMZ.com through Cinematical just gets odder and odder.
It's written by Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg who were writers on the Scary and Date Movies, strange that they're now pulling out Liberace? The story is set to focus on the alleged double life of Liberace, was he or wasn't he gay, and will begin when his ex-lover Scott Thorson took him to court for palimony. From here, it is said, Liberace struggled with his personal and public lives.
It actually sounds like it would be a very interesting story, surprising that these two writers are on the script, and even more strange that Cage is to play the man himself. It doesn't feel at all right to me, perhaps I'd be willing to give the writers a chance, but Cage in this role?
