In 1982, Thorson sued Liberace (who died in 1987 of complications from AIDS) for $113 million in palimony, and claimed he was the Liberace’s companion for five years. If the film happens, it will be a while until Soderbergh could start shooting. He is set to direct "The Girlfriend Experience" for 2929 Entertainment. The film is part of a six-picture deal Soderbergh signed to direct low-budget films. The films are released simultaneously in theatrical, on cable and DVD.
