Big thanks to Emmanuel, on behalf of Momentum Pictures, for informing us that the UK release date for ‘Dorian Gray‘ has been moved up to September 9th, 2009! A few days ago I also replaced the MQ versions of the previously uploaded ‘Dorian Gray‘ stills with HQ versions. View those here!

I also wanted to make mention that the ‘Bigga Than Ben‘ DVD is out in the UK now. So if you haven’t already, be sure to pick up a copy! As of right now, there is no release date for the DVD in the US but we will let you know if that changes! Big thanks to ‘Bigga Than Ben‘ producer, Liz Holford, for this information!

Sorry about the lack of updates, guys. Ivonne and I are extremely busy lately but, today we’ve come bearing some goodies! :)

Two different pics from the Gap Winter Campaign. Thanks to Regys:

More HQ Stills from Easy Virtue:

There are reports that Dorian Gray is schedule to release in the UK on September, 11th (2009) but so far we don’t have any official information.

Also, Narnia Fans has an exclusive interview with Ben online and here’s a curious excerpt about his next project:

“I just finished shooting Dorian Gray, based on Oscar Wilde, and they got this fantastic portrait painted. This very expensive portrait painted. And I was like ‘can I have that, afterwards for my mom?’ and they were like ‘absolutely not, do you know what this is worth? We’re giving this to a museum.’ And I was like ‘but it’s a picture of me, what do you mean you’re giving it to a museum, it makes no sense!””

I was a bit hesitant on whether I should post the following pictures or not as I am absolutely against paparazzi pictures but they seem harmless enough, so here they are.

Ben signing autographs and posing with fans outside his hotel in Rome 3 days ago.

I have also added lots of new pictures of these last few days thanks to Celebutopia and a BBF visitor, Sandra.

And here’s a video of Ben on GMTV on October 30th thanks to my dear friend Mel. He talks about “Easy Virtue”, getting close to Jessica Biel, being part of the film’s Soundtrack and of course “Hyrise” – will he ever see the end of it? I don’t think so.

Also, good news for “Easy Virtue”:

“Easy Virtue,” a bubbly comedy based on Noel Coward’s play about English high society in the 1920s, has emerged as a hot favorite to win the best film award at the Rome festival, which winds up on Friday.

Italian daily Corriere della Sera called the film “a little gem” and gave it 3-1/2 stars out of four — its highest marks for a movie screening in the main 20-title competition. Source
