Colin Firth Corrupts Dorian Gray

Posted by bob in Films, News on August 1st, 2008

Former heartthrob Colin Firth (Mama Mia) will be joining Ben Barnes in Dorian Gray, the latest adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s classic horror tale. Directed by Oliver Parker, the movie features Barnes as Gray with Firth playing Lord Henry Wotton, the aristocrat who corrupts Gray.  Shooting has begun this week but no release date has been announced. The producers are promising a terrifying horror production, not Masterpiece Theater.

Firth just wrapped that other supernatural perennial, Robert Zemeckis’ motion-capture A Christmas Carol which also stars Jim Carrey and Gary Oldman.
