It’s almost amazing that Oscar Wilde’s The Picture Of Dorian Gray has never received a really good movie adaptation, as it seems is if it was almost designed for film. However, that may change soon when Momentum release Dorian Gray, starring Ben Barnes and Colin Firth, in cinemas on September 11th.
We’ve just been sent the early artwork image below. It’s not the official movie poster (it appears to be an image that will be included on a leaflet inserted into the DVD cases of other movies by Momentum) but it does make the film look kinda cool, especially if you’re a Ben Barnes fan.
The movie itself tells the story of a strikingly beautiful young man named Dorian (Ben Barnes), who arrives in Victorian London and is swept into a social whirlwind by the charismatic Henry Wotton (Firth). When a portrait of Dorian is unveiled, its beauty is so immence that he makes a pledge: he would give anything to stay as he is in the picture – even his soul. So take a look at the artwork below and CLICK HERE to see some great images from the movie that we posted last week.
