We all know the story of Dorian Gray from the Gothic novel by Oscar Wilde published in the late 1800’s of a young beautiful man who realizes one day he’ll age and his beauty will fade sold his soul so that his self portrait painted by artist Basil Hallward would age rather than himself. It comes true and his portrait ages instead of he.
A corrupt young man somehow keeps his youthful beauty eternally, but a special painting gradually reveals his inner ugliness to all.
Directed by Oliver Parker starring Ben Barnes who’s undoubtedly the most handsome man I’ve ever seen play Dorian Gray would be reason enough for me to see this film, sad but true. Also starring Colin Firth, Rachel Hurd-Wood, Rebecca Hall and Ben Chaplin as Basil Hallward.
The film is set for UK release September 9th 2009, US release information is yet to be published.
