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. ;)
