Actors: Prince Caspian as Dorian Gray

Just one day after his big breakthrough with ‘Prince Caspian,’ Ben Barnes lands a new leading role in ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray.’ It’s based on the book by Oscar Wilde, which is considered as one of the last classic horror stories. Just as ‘King Lear’ earlier today, ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’ has been adapted for the big screen a couple of times before.

It’s a story of vanity, where Dorian Gray gets a painting of himself from an adoring painter. And when Dorian’s beauty faints, he soon wishes the painting would age instead of himself. His wish is granted, but it doesn’t come without a price.
