LiberaceNICOLAS CAGE will play flamboyant Las Vegas, Nevada showman LIBERACE in a new biopic about the legendary piano man's life. The CON AIR star is producing the project, as well as starring in the film, and will begin meeting with directors in the coming weeks. Liberace, real name WLADZIU VALENTINO LIBERACE, rose to fame in the 1950s when his musical TV show competed with, and often beat, I LOVE LUCY in the ratings. For much of the 1960s and 1970s, he was Las Vegas' highest-paid performer. Liberace always flatly denied he was gay and the film is expected to focus on his double-life, according to celebrity website TMZ.com. In the early 1980s, Liberace's live-in lover SCOTT THORNSON sued him for $113 million (GBP63 million) in "palimony" after they parted ways. Sources say the suit, which was ultimately dismissed, will be used as the starting point to introduce audiences to the alleged secret that haunted him for his entire adult life. The film could start production as early as October (06).

Lou Zamperinis 'Iron Man' Gets A ReWrite
Neil Tolkin is negotiating to rewrite "Iron Man," Universal's biopic about Olympian athlete and track star Lou Zamperini, reports Variety He earned his nickname by withstanding the cruel torture of a Japanese POW guard during two years of internment during WWII. Universal drafted Tolkin because the studio is high on his screenwriting work on "The Emperor's Club," which opens Friday. Nicolas Cage has pined to star in the film, and directors including Antoine Fuqua have circled it.
Tolkin, in fact, tried to buy the rights when the world was alerted to Zamperini's story during a feature that was broadcast during the 1998 Winter Olympics, when Zamperini was invited to carry the torch for the U.S. in Nagano. Zamperini was a track star who appeared in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. He was in the Army Air Force when his plane crashed in the Pacific. He and another soldier survived with virtually no food and water for 47 days, only to land on a Japanese island and be taken prisoner. Zamperini was targeted by a cruel guard, who tortured and humiliated the athlete but could never break his spirit. Zamperini said during that broadcast that he had forgiven his captors. The network had actually tracked down his main tormentor, who declined an offer for a reunion with the willing Zamperini. Zamperini will be in the news again next year, when William Morrow publishes "Devil at My Heels," a memoir he wrote with David Rensin.
