I read the original for school waaay back in the day. I still have it, actually, and had to let my sister-in-law borrow it after we watched the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and I was the only one who knew who he was. <br /><br />I'm with Stewart here, curious to see how badly "Hollywood" mauls the story to make it acceptable to today's moviegoing populace.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09486800879602370399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55282503134540185.post-20630085150678452422009-08-03T03:07:13.563-07:002009-08-03T03:07:13.563-07:00@Rhiannon

After the movie, my 12-year nephew asked what other stories the character was in.<br /><br />I told him none - just one old short story.<br /><br />He couldn't understand it. All of the characters he was used to were super-franchised, like "Harry Potter and the 7 novels of longishness."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55282503134540185.post-25791073280809032442009-07-31T16:46:43.712-07:002009-07-31T16:46:43.712-07:00I read it.

I'm sure they'll twist it, throw in some gratuitous action and sex, and mix in some ADHD Generational nonsense. What next? Charles Dickens in Space?Stewart Sternberg (half of L.P.

I think they'll keep the portrait part of the story, but have just dropped it from the title because it sounds snappier.Rhiannon Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03611927348379723038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55282503134540185.post-53305798184432512362009-07-31T13:37:51.845-07:002009-07-31T13:37:51.845-07:00I have read the book.

I notice it's just called "Dorian Gray," not "The Portrait of Dorian Gray." Have they written out that particular plot point?JGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03116405895683599572noreply@blogger.com
