So, let me get this straight.....


This movie is modernized, right? And it has a homosexual theme, or at least an undertone, correct? Just making sure....

Over the the years, there has been lots of speculation as to whether there was meant to be any homosexual themes in Dorian Gray.

This is just the first adaptation to embrace them.

Absolutely. Let's see, "worship of youth and beauty, New York art scene, bringing up to date a story by a homosexual writer," what do YOU think?

I saw this film at the Phila Gay Lesbian film festival...Oscar Wilde would have been proud....he is probably rolling in his grave over thew Josh Duhamel version
