‘Dorian Gray’ poster makes me itchy

Empire has revealed the “Dorian Gray” poster and Ben Barnes might want to stop picking at that.

I’m kidding. His face doesn’t really look like that. It’s telling us a story. The story, of course, is Oscar Wilde’s “The Picture of Dorian Gray.” Dorian (played in the film by Barnes) makes a wish that a portrait of himself will grow older for him, meaning he stays young and fresh. We’re reminded of morals when his wish turns into a big mistake.
