Enter Annie Clark, better known to fans as musician / rock god St. Vincent, who is set to make her feature directing debut with a gender-swapped take on The Picture of Dorian Gray.
Set in the Victorian era, The Picture of Dorian Gray tells the story of a promiscuous pleasure-seeker who sells his soul for an ageless existence.
Variety reports that Clark has signed on to helm a new feature adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s literary classic — with a twist.
After three blissfully grotesque seasons of Penny Dreadful, it’s difficult to imagine anyone reinvigorating the familiar story of Dorian Gray as well as John Logan did in his tragically-short-lived gothic series.
