Dorian Gray (2009)

This film is based on the novel written by Oscar Wilde. Starring Ben Barnes as Dorian, Colin Firth as Lord Henry and Ben Chaplin as Basil.

Although I have read the book, I don't remember details enough to say with certainty how accurate an adaptation this is in general. I do know that Dorian's corruption of Sibyl Vane was much more evil in the novel. In this movie, it just seems that Dorian gets bored of her while in the manuscript her downfall is terribly tragic and quite malicious on Dorian's part.

This film uses CGI in its representation of the painting. I personally liked it for the most part because it is actually quite scary. The portrait is supposed to be evil, not just old, and the slight bit of animation that is used is effective.
