Michael Douglas Snags Title Role In Upcoming BioPic

Micheal Douglas just recently completed eight weeks of treatment for throat cancer, but despite the health challenges he has faced, the 66-year-old actor is already prepping for his next big project.

A-lister Douglas is taking on the title role in Liberace, a biopic helmed by his Traffic director Steven Soderbergh.

The film is set to begin shooting sometime around May 2011 [as a set date has yet to be confirmed]. Douglas fans, is it too early for the actor to be planning work in his future? Or is Douglas just doing what any smart man would: insuring his income?
