There is plenty happening on HBO and we at HBOWatch try to cover it all. So, with that in mind, there is one such offering that warrants some attention this weekend. It is HBO Films: BEHIND THE CANDELEBARA, which premieres in place of GAME OF THRONES, VEEP & FAMILY TREE Sunday night (05.26) at 9:00pm. To get you in the mood for this glitzy bio-drama about entertainer Liberace and his tumultuous relationship with Scott Thorson here are some TnT’s (Teases/Trailers) that  contain good background information. We start with “An Invitation To The Set.” There is really no surprise here....

Wait wait wait! You mean, I don’t get to find out what happens to Tyrion and the gang until 2 weeks from now?!  But Dany! And Robb! And Sansa! And Arya and the Hound! And and and!… With so much about to happen and only two - 2! - episodes left, I just don’t know what I’m going to do with myself.  I guess I could start weeding my garden… break out the lawnmower… clean the swimming pool… actually participate in the world… So what a cliffhanger. Poor Gendry, at the mercy of Melisandre and Stannis. And just what can or will Davos do? Those...

This must be what Perez was talking about the other day.  The soon-to-be infamous bathtub scene from HBO’s upcoming film: Behind the Candelabra.  We’ve seen pictures of the actors in costume and been teased with a premiere date but take a look at the first trailer with actual footage from: Naked celebrities aside the film does look interesting to say the least.  Get the full Monty on May 26th at 9PM.  Only from HBO...

Gracing the cover of the next Entertainment Weekly  (on newsstands 03.08) is Michael Douglas and Matt Damon in character for HBO Films: BEHIND THE CANDELABRA. Since it is a cover shot there must be a featured article contained within the pages. It could possibly talk about an on-set visit to the film or at least offer some quotes from the actors and/or director Soderbergh about the uncomfortable portrayals the actors put themselves in to get this story told. Here is the glittery shot and EW’s coverage. HBO Films: BEHIND THE CANDELABRA premieres...

Behind the Candelabra should catch your attention at the mention of the main characters: Michael Douglas as Liberace and Matt Damon as Scott Thorson.  But the new HBO film also has a well known helmsmen: Stephen Soderbergh.  Tonight HBO released the first teaser trailer for the new TV movie that also reveals the premiere date of May 26th.

 To throw a little variety onto the site today here is a quick post about some of the upcoming programming ahead. In fact, some of these these titles are in post-production or actually already “in the can” as they say.  First up is HBO FILMS: PHIL SPECTOR. It debuts on Sunday, 03.24.13 at 9:00pm. I know this was in production but had no idea it was premiering so soon. You do know Phil Spector, right? In the 1960’s & ‘70’s he was one of the top music producers and songwriters in the biz. He was the money man behind The Beatles’ Let It Be album, co-wrote the chart topper...

Below is confirmation that three productions are soon to be HBO FILMS. All three of these films are in different stages of development, but they should air relatively soon on the pay channel.
