Filmmaker Steven Soderbergh has long been interested in the late pianist Liberace as a potential subject for a film.

Abrams leaped into the captain’s chair to reboot the franchise in a way that was as audacious as it was winningly nostalgic with 2009s STAR TREK. Taking the beloved crewmates back to their beginnings with a surfeit of style and […]Read On »
