I ended up having to buy a region free dvd player to be able to see my copy of DG. I wonder if the US release DVD will be the same as the UK one or if it’ll have different features. All in all, I think I’ll get a US copy, too.

We American Ben fans think alike! I also bought a region free player for the sole purpose of seeing Dorian Gray! Well worth it, he was wonderful in it! I will also buy the US copy. The most frustrating thing though…I was visiting London the end of August/beginning of Sept. last year with my family. We flew out two days before Dorian Gray hit theaters there!

Hope he does some promotional thing here for the DVD release, but probably not.

I just finished the book today and only read it because I wanted to see this movie. I just went on IMDb and it said it had no U.S. release date. Then I decided to see what was new in the world of Ben Barnes and saw this. I’m sooo excited!!! I LOVE Ben! Throughout the enitire book I could only picture Ben and Colin as Dorian and Henry and it fit very nicely :)

I can not think of anyone could do this role, except Ben!
but then, after seeing him kissing another guy… to me…
Ben is too pretty…

Like,ever since Jake played role as a gay Texan,
I don’t feel attracted to him… anymore…

I kind of feel same about Ben…

but… not really though.
I don’t know…

Anyways… it would be really weird, to see him in next Narnia movie though…

I had crush on him when I first saw him in Narnia, as prince Caspian… innocent, charming, with some accent… pretty attractive… guy…

now he knows all… he knows all…

I really have to say I saw the two versions of the portrait of dorian gray I can say that the previous version is much more modest but enbargo this version shows more detail but the essence of this, comparing the two performances I saw more passion with which the ben barnes actor though it is to understand that at that time things were more reserved but I liked both movies I would have liked to see more often the picture as the first version as this one could see the changes that had dorian with the passage of obias years and that this did not reflect reasonable down his face, good for the others I loved the movie, Ben Barnes’s performance was excellent for me made me believe in what I was seeing and I hope to continue to follow so looking forward to putting an actor

hola
me vi las dos versiones del retrato de dorian gray y puedo decir que ambas fueron buenas , aunque la version anterior era un poco mas recatada pero este al mostrar su retrato reflejaba la maldad de su alma supongo que por ello y por lo de la epoca en que se hizo la pelicula no detallo los acontesimientos todo lo contrario con esta version que dorian mostro mas su vida lo que lo llevaba hacer esas cosas como matar y vivir en la angustia de que alguien descubriera su verdadero yo tambien puedo decir que me gusto la actuacion de ben barnes por que en la pelicula uno puede llegar a creer lo que esta viendo

a decir verdad me hubiera gustado que hubieran mostrado mas seguido el retrato de dorian pero supongo que no todas las peliculas aunque se trate de otra version no pueden ser iguales
