An early promo insert for Dorian Gray is being sent out, providing a sneak peek at what to expect from Oscar Wilde’s infamous immortal protagonist.

Ben Barnes stars in the film which tells the story of a beautiful young man named Dorian who takes Victorian London by storm. He is shown around by the charismatic Henry Wotton (Colin Firth) who introduces him to the hedonistic pleasures of the city.

Gray is then shown a portrait of himself, which he finds stunningly beautiful. In fact, he finds it so beautiful that he pledges he would give anything to stay as he is in the picture – even his soul.

The thriller is set to hit UK cinemas on September 11.
