controversial character in real life. it's his memoir behind the candelabra that served as the model for the film but scott is now currently sitting in jail for burglary and identity theft. how much of a role did his personal problems and the fact he is such a complicated person play in making this film? >> well, he wasn't involved in the making of the film. i bought the book. we had the book adapted and a screenplay made out of it. it is extraordinary. and that's what attracted steven soderberg and attracted matt damon, michael douglas, marvin hamlish, rob lowe, dan akroyd, debby reynolds, etcetera. we have an extraordinary star cast, extraordinary supporting cast. and a great screenplay. that's what you need to make a film like this. >> it is an extraordinary film and we wish you the best of luck with it.
