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.
