Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray is a fabulous book, and I’m very pleased to see that a new movie is coming out.
I’m even more pleased to see that it stars Ben Barnes and Colin Firth. Oh, be still my heart!
Here’s the poster:

It looks lovely, in a dark, almost Burtonesque sort of way. But I have to admit, I’m a bit worried by Dorian’s apparent heterosexuality. I’m sure dear old Oscar would be a bit miffed, too. And I’ve got to admit, I was kind of hoping for a little something between Ben and Colin. ;)

Looks awesome, and reminds me that I need to re-read that book!
Yeah, I need to re-read, too! It’s been ages since I read it. I’ll have to play “find the homosexuality” and then compare it to whatever’s in the movie. ;)
