Small Dorian Gray article

Here's a small article from MSN quoting Ben Barnes on the relevance of the Dorian Gray story to the zeitgeist (love that word!). On the topic of homosexuality, he says: "I think it is underplayed in the book, and it is present in our film but not highlighted." That sounds promising to me; I feel that while the novel's homosexual subtext is indeed very subtle, it's still a vital part of the storyline and shouldn't be ignored, but nor should it amped up as the main storyline. Getting that balance right will be very difficult for those involved.
