Firth And Foremost

Colin Firth has joined the cast of the new Dorian Gray film says The Hollywood Reporter.

Based on Oscar Wilde's classic novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray," the story follows Gray (Ben Barnes), a young man who becomes the subject of a painting. As the man descends into a hedonistic lifestyle, the portrait begins to age and morph, but he doesn't. Firth will play Lord Henry Wotton, the aristocrat who corrupts Gray with his worldview.

I'm sure ladies' hearts will be all a flutter with Firth and Barnes appearing on screen together...

Oliver Parker calls action on the film which began production this week.
