Would you be ok with a female Dorian Gray? Do you think it will

>>86568243
actually, yeah. because women are way more narcisistic than men

too bad that talentless hack of a musician will direct it tho

This has already been done before.

>>86568243
I think it would make more sense for a woman to make a deal with the devil to never get old than a man does.

So really I don't really care, it will remind every woman that they are old and their days are numbered.

>>86569543
I'd watch the Wolf Woman as long as it showed her big hairy werewolf twat getting penetrated by a big werewolf cock--screaming as she takes the knot, the werecock ballooning inside her.

>>86569637
Dorian didn't make a deal with the devil.

>>86568243
only if they actually show her decent into decadence and debauchery and not suggest/imply it like they do every fucking time

what do people have against annie, exactly? is it politics?

Yeah, this would actually work.

Another non-story.

Dorian Gray is not essentially male. They're essentially vain. Can you imagine a woman playing that?

The role she was born to play

>>86568243
anther case of genderswapping a male character to a female thinking females and males are the same.

are there so few stories with interesting women they have to take a male role?

>>86570226

Go on.

Tell me the traits the character exhibits that would be impossible for a female character to exhibit?

>dorian gray
>morally reprehensible character
I really don't see a female dorian gray. With gender swaps (MtF) they give women no flaws. Gray is all flaws and no remorse.

>>86568243
no. I think changing the sex would make it very cliche, a story of a vain woman seduced into a quasi lesbian relationship. It reeks of regressive writing that thinks its progressive. I would be ok with the story that does not have the origin and just has doriana ssing young boys but even that would only have novelty going for it

>>86570413
His relationship with Sybil and his constant moral battle with how his relationship with men turn out would be lost if he was turned into a woman.

>>86570514
>doriana ssing young boys
MOMMY

>>86569543
>The Wolf
call it the wolf and have everyone on the lookout for a male. it will be a twist when it turns out to be a woman doing all the cling, while the male is just a drunk with blackouts
>Frankenstein's Monster girl
bride of Frankenstein is a think. only option is t he old trick of making her an action girl
>The Strange case of Dr. Jekyll & Ms. Hyde
make it about transexuality? I like it
>The Phantomess of the Opera
to unbelievable. Its near impossible for a girl not to be able to get dick, especially since she can't be fat Phantomess. would you make it gay? I mean who would the Phantomess be teaching singing to?

>>86570632
He already sorta did that in the novel.

>>86569912
>there will be shots of big black man all over her and /tv/ will be screaming in rage
They can't fuck animals on screen or be pedo and everything else has become socially acceptable so im not sure how they can show decadence and debauchery. being at de club won't do the trick

>>86570540

So a woman is in love with Sibyl. You wouldn't have to change anything here.

And a woman is attracted to married men who she consciously considers to be below her notice.

Instead of gender and race swapping roles, why don't whores and niggers just write their own stories?

>>86570636
wow Dude r U a movie producer? Thats Epic that U know just Wot people Want....

I'd say that something would be lost in changing the gay undertones to lesbian ones, but I don't really care. Read the fucking book if you're asspained about casting choices and creative freedom.

>>86570781
>>86570781

Can they keep inserting themselves in roles until it matches the number of white performers who were inserted into roles in media up until now?

>>86571076
>The only thing he love about Sybil was her acting.

>Also there engagement was know to the public and a big part of him losing his conscience is him breaking her heart and everyone knew about.

None of this precludes Dorian being a woman. Could change Sibyl to be a beautiful boy instead.

>How can you do that if lesbian relationships were basically forbidden back then?

You can change the story around it. The essence of the story is not 'boy meets girl and it's super straight'. It's vanity and hubris and how they're different and damaging, it's societal expectations and how they're mercurial. Dorian Gray can be set in any time, and you could cast anyone as Dorian, and it would work so long as you had the right actor.

>>86568243
Yeah sure, his gender really has nothing to do with the character, nor the point of the novel.

>>86571180
>Could change Sibyl to be a beautiful boy instead
are you implying that a men breaking off his engagement is as tragic as woman dumping a beautiful boy?

>>86571180
>Dorian Gray can be set in any time, and you could cast anyone as Dorian
no you can't. it needs to resonate with the society you are showing it to

>>86571250
>are you implying that a men breaking off his engagement is as tragic as woman dumping a beautiful boy?

Of course.

You're asking for me to make a statement on all such relationships. I'm sure you wouldn't argue that every broken engagement is more hurtful to a man than every broken relationship is to a woman. Would you?


Wake me up when Genghis Khan is canonically and openly a woman in a film. This stuff is non-interesting at this stage.

>>86571457
if a story is set in the 17 century and a guy dumps a woman than there must be something wrong with her, while a guy can find another woman.

Nah it would be shit. It was shit as a play when they cast a really ugly African to play him too. Liberals can't produce anything of quality since retarded anti-white/anti-male identity politics became their only cause. I'd like to see Dorian Gray made with a truly beautiful man, Sebastian Stan could do it, the lad can act too.

>>86571457
>Genghis Khan is canonically and openly a woman in a film.
How would that work with his bloodline?

>>86571592

It wouldn't. That would be a character that would have to be fundamentally changed for them to be portrayed as a woman.

Dorian Gray just isn't that kind of character.

Yeah, the 1945 version or this (1984).

>>86572965
Personally, I don't find any of the movie adaptations even mediocre. I feel as if the main flaw is attempting to make Dorian Gray a quasi-horror, which is way off from the book. The story is not a horror.

>>86573320
Never heard of that one. I will probably check it out.

99% of people wouldn't even know its not OC so it wouldn't really matter.

>>86568285
I was going to say the opposite

A narcissistic woman is too common to make a movie about

>>86568608
His vanity was only part of it. It's about hedonism, he wants to experience everything because of Lord Henry's influence.
