"Clive Owen is to star in a new TV drama from director Steven Soderbergh. Soderbergh - whose Liberace biopic Behind the Candelabra will premiere on HBO in the US and be released in cinemas in the UK - is in talks to direct all ten episodes of The Knick, according to Deadline.  Set in 1900s New York, the period drama tells the story of the surgeons, nurses and staff at Knickerbocker Hospital, who pushed the boundaries of early medicine. Owen and Soderbergh will also executive produce and plan to sell The Knick to Cinemax, with the cable broadcaster guaranteeing a 10-episode order. Cinemax is continuing to expand its original programming content, following Alan Ball&amp;#039;s Banshee, big-screen spinoff Transporter: The Series and co-productions Hunted and Strike Back.
