Class Picture

The cast has been rounded out for the latest big screen adaptation of Oscar Wilde's book The Picture of Dorian Gray says Variety.

Joining Ben Barnes and Colin Firth are Rebecca Hall, Ben Chaplin, Maryam d'Abo, Johnny Harris and newcomer Max Irons (pictured), son of noted actor Jeremy Irons among others.

The story centers on Gray, a young man who becomes the subject of a painting. As the man descends into a hedonistic lifestyle, the portrait begins to age, but he does not.

That's quite a cast list for a film. This looks to be an entertaining drama.

Oliver Parker directs the film as it begins production in the UK.
