Rebecca Hall has done many characters on screen and in theater. Her latest project is Dorian Gray where she plays the love interest Emily Wotton. Will a strong, independent woman tempt Dorian? Or, will he simply use and kill her?
“Emily appears later in the film, just as the suffragette movement is gathering pace and she’s very much of that era”.
“I read the book and saw the black and white film when I was a young girl. I think I was far too little as it made quite a lasting impression on me! I remember it as being quite scary. ”.
“It was really interesting reading the script because Toby Finlay has definitely made a version of it that is different yet still holds the central concerns. If you take a novel and turn it into a film it’s never going to be the same – naturally you’re doing an adaptation anyway – they are such radically different forms. You have to adapt to the medium you’re telling the story in and I think he’s done that really successfully”.
