Townsend's an Extraordinary Gentleman...

According to ShowBizIreland.com sources an Irish actor is being lined up for the new movie The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Reports from Hollywood claim that filmmakers are seeking Dublin born Stuart Townsend for the role of Dorian Gray in the comic book based movie.

The actor is perhaps best known for his turn as the Vampire Lestat in the recently released Queen of the Damned. His other credits include About Adam, Trojan Eddie, and Resurrection Man.

He had been cast as Aragorn in the Lord of the Rings but was replaced by Viggo Mortensen.

Apparently Townsend has only auditioned for the role of Gray and has not yet entered into negotiations for the part. Saffron Burrows, is also up for the role of Mina Harker.

Dorian Gray is the title character of Oscar Wilde's 1890 classic The Picture of Dorian Gray, which is about a man who seems to defy the aging process. He leads a decadent lifestyle for years but only his portrait shows signs of age. The question is has Gray sold his soul to stay forever young?

Thanks to IGN FilmForce for the heads up.
