"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".
Don't know why but this really intrigues me

Does look interesting but there's been a movie about this character before - league of extraordinary gentlemen a few years back.
I liked the character in that film but he was one of a number of characters, this new film is all about him.There was a previous film called The Picture of Dorian Gray
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0037988/
I might see if I can find a copy.
amazon is your friend

Black and white , mid 40s movie I recoreded it on VHS when it was on TV a few years ago
George sanders is good ,then again he was good in Moonfleet
Hurd Hatfield played ( Dorien grey )
Its a good movie but read the book first

I saw this a couple of months ago. It passed the time, but to be honest, it just wasn't my cup of tea.
Hard to pin down why, but I don't think it's the era, the period costumes and such seemed pretty good.
Just not my film.
(For the record, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was such tosh that I never finished it. That is rare for me.)
