Okay, WTF does Lord Henry have that awful pubes-glued-on-face child molester beard? I love Colin Firth, but he is NOT right for the role. I can see him as Basil, ok. But RUPERT EVERETT should be Henry. Rupert Everett IS Lord Henry.
Ben Barnes--nice looking as he is--IS NOT DORIAN. Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh. Dorian is IVORY and GOLD people. Ivory and gold. How hard is it to find a blond actor goddamit? Why do people keep casting Dorian Gray as brunette? It's not like he isn't described as having golden hair like, every other page of the book!!!!! I HATE YOU.
@mizsarah: no it is NOT "hawt." It is "EWWWWW."
Btw, Heens, I think Ben Barnes would be great to play John Gray, the man who very likely was the inspiration behind Dorian Gray in a biopic of Wilde. Still with lightened hair/a wig, but at least John Gray wasn't entirely blond. BUT DORIAN WAS.
You know for a fact that the movie is going to suck. Every movie with Ben Barnes in it is going to suck. He's going to be the next Orlando Bloom.
I don't even think Ben Barnes looks very good in that photo. :-( I'm not sure it's his most flattering haircut.
I don't care if it's not quite cannonical - if it has fine men and homoerotic undercurrents, I'm gonna go see it.

Yeah I saw that, but it's Ben Barnes so it's sexy.
