Check out the trailer for DORIAN GRAY starring Ben Barnes, Colin Firth, Rebecca Hall, and directed by Oliver Parker.

I read the book, "The Picture of Dorian Gray," when I was in school and remember liking it. But unfortunately, judging from the Dorian Gray trailer, I'm not sure they did justice to the story. Although I do like Colin Firth.

Dorian Gray will be released to theaters in the UK on September 9, 2009. Watch the trailer below.

Dorian Gray Synopsis: 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.

I always liked the story of Dorian Gray. While I am not sure about Ben Barnes in the lead role, I am willing to give it a shot.

Dorian Gray Synopsis: A corrupt young man somehow keeps his youthful beauty eternally, but a special painting gradually reveals his inner ugliness to all.

DORIAN GRAY will be released to UK theaters on September 18, 2009.

Check out the trailer for EASY VIRTUE starring Jessica Biel, Ben Barnes, Kristin Scott Thomas, Colin Firth, and directed by Stephan Elliott.

I didn't think this would be a movie that I'd want to watch, but the trailer looks great. It's going to be fun. I'm actually looking forward to it.

Easy Virtue will be released to theaters in the US on May 22, 2009 (the movie is already available on DVD in the UK). Watch the trailer below.

Easy Virtue Synopsis: The twenties have roared... the thirties have yet to swing. John Whittaker, a young Englishman, falls madly in love with Larita, a sexy and glamorous American woman, and they marry impetuously. However when the couple returns to the family home, his mother Mrs. Whittaker has an instant allergic reaction to her new daughter-in-law. Larita tries her best to fit in but fails to tiptoe through the minefield laid by her mother-in-law. Larita quickly realizes Mrs. Whittaker's game and sees that she must fight back if she¿s not going to lose John.
A battle of wits ensues and sparks soon fly. Mrs. Whittaker manipulates every situation to undermine her, while Larita remains frustratingly calm and engineers sassy counter attacks. Before long, Mrs. Whittaker¿s manipulation starts to work on John and Larita feels their love is in danger of slipping away.

Ben Barnes

Ben Barnes from the Prince Caspian fame was just cast as Hamlet in OPHELIA, an independent film which will tell the Hamlet story but in Ophelia's point of view.

The role of Ophelia will be played by newcomer Juno Temple, and the movie will be directed by first-time director Dawn Shadforth.

This could be an interesting movie to check out. Looking forward to the trailer.
