Yes, yes, it's true, a new production of Oscar Wilde's novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, is to be released this year.
Though, from the trailer, it looks suspiciously like Harry Potter or something awful. And the boy who plays Dorian's character, although attractive, (from what I've seen) doesn't fit the image of Dorian in the novel. The actor is no doubt handsome, but not in the way that Dorian should be. But then again I'm being shallow, and presumptuous.
Anyhow, anyone have any thoughts? Share!
