Dorian Gray is a British film adaptation of Oscar Wilde's 1891 novel The Picture of Dorian Gray. This version is directed by Oliver Parker, written by Toby Finlay (his first screenplay), and stars Ben Barnes as Dorian Gray. It was released in the UK on 9 September, 2009.When a naïve young Dorian (Ben Barnes) arrives in Victorian London, he is swept into a social whirlwind by the charismatic Lord Henry Wotton (Colin Firth), who introduces Dorian to the hedonistic pleasures of the city. Henry's friend, society artist Basil Hallward (Ben Chaplin), paints a portrait of Dorian to capture the full power of his youthful beauty. When the portrait is unveiled, Dorian makes a flippant pledge: he would give anything to stay as he is in the picture — even his soul.
Dorian meets and falls in love with young budding actress Sibyl Vane (Rachel Hurd-Wood). After a few weeks, he proposes marriage to her, but after Henry tells Dorian that having children is "the beginning of the end", Dorian and Sibyl argue and he leaves her; the next day he learns from her brother "Jim" (James) that she drowned herself (like the character of Ophelia that she played in the theatre) and that she was going to have Dorian's child before she did. His initial grief disappears as Henry persuades him that all events are mere experiences and without consequence, and his hedonistic lifestyle worsens, distancing him from a concerned Basil. Dorian goes home to find the portrait of himself warped and twisted and realises that his pledge has come true; while the portrait ages he remains ever-youthful, while his sins show as physical defects on the canvas. The chaos of the picture of Dorian Gray starts, leading to him actually killing Basil and dumping the body in the Thames after Basil sees the portrait.
Having left London to travel for many years, Dorian goes back and during the welcome-back party the guests are awed to see that he hasn't aged in all those years that he has been away and he still has the charming face that made everyone fall in love. He also finds himself becoming close to Henry's daughter, Emily, a member of the suffragette movement, despite Henry's distaste for such a relationship based on Dorian's lifestyle. Although Dorian appears genuinely interested in changing his ways as he spends time with Emily, matters are complicated when he is confronted by Sibyl's brother James, seeking revenge for his sister's death; despite Dorian's attempts to drive off his suspicions by pointing out his apparent age, James nevertheless deduces Dorian's true identity, only to be killed in an accident during the chase in the subway. As Dorian makes arrangements to leave London with Emily, Henry's study of old photographs makes him remember the time when he teased Dorian to deal with the devil for eternal youth and beauty at the cost of his soul. This prompts him to go and look in Dorian's house for the portrait which he thinks holds the mystery to Dorian's fountain of youth. In the subsequent confrontation between the two men, Henry is able to knock Dorian out when he tries to kill him because of Emily's calls downstairs and he throws a lit lamp at the portrait causing it to catch fire. Henry locks the gate of the attic, where Dorian and the painting are, before his daughter sees the ruckus. But, Emily arrives in time and asks Dorian for the key. Dorian, after seeing her and realizing that he really loves her, turns his back as Henry drags his daughter out of the house. Dorian then decides to end it all; as the portrait burns his years catch up with him. His last act is to stab the portrait and thus end his tortured life and its suffering and cruelty.
A few months later, Henry is shown attempting to convince Agatha to allow him to talk to Emily, one side of his face badly burned by the fire, and the now-youthful portrait of Dorian Gray kept in his attic.
