Lost among the craziness known as Comic Con this weekend came quietly on the net the first teaser trailer to a film many have put on their watch list, THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY. And if I hear one single soul mentioning Stuart Townsend…
Based on Oscar Widle’s only full length novel, the film follows Ben Barnes (Prince Capser Caspian) as a handsome young Victorian fellow whose looks and health remain through time while a portrait of him degrades with each sin and passing year. Things get really messy for him when he agrees to star in a Stephen Norrington film so crappy it…Never mind. Colin Firth co-stars along Ben Chaplin, Fiona Shaw and the very lovely Emilia Fox.
Here’s the vid, enjoy. The film opens in the UK on September 9th, 2009. No U.S. date yet.
