DORIAN GRAY Movie Trailer

dorian_gray

The first trailer for Dorian Gray has hit the net, and it looks like it’s going to be a really good film. Sure it may not be as exciting as everything going on at Comic-Con, but it is a interesting story to partake in.

Based on the classic novel by Oscar Wilde, Dorian Gray tells the story of a strikingly beautiful young man named Dorian (Ben Barnes). He arrives in Victorian London and is swept into a social whirlwind by the charismatic Henry Wotton (Colin Firth), who introduces Dorian to the hedonistic pleasures of the city. When a portrait of Dorian is unveiled, such is it’s beauty that he makes a pledge: he would give anything to stay as he is in the picture – even his soul.

Dorian Gray examines the destructive power of beauty, the blind pursuit of pleasure and the darkness that can result.

Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think!

    Not bad. Not incredibly amazing, but still worth checking out. I was kind of iffy about Ben Barnes before but now not so much…especially since colin firth is in it too. Should be interesting

    I've been interested in Dorian Gray ever since I saw "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen". This look very cool.

    Meh. I just want to see more sighing, sexually repressed Victorian ladies in their tight bodices.

    Stuart Townsend is much more convincing then Ben Barnes, even in that short episode he played.
