Sarah Snook Isn’t Sure How Cate Blanchett Would Turn “Picture Of Dorian Gray” Into A Film

Sarah Snook, who won a Tony Award for Best Performance By a Leading Actress in a Play for The Picture of Dorian Gray, is stumped about how it would ever be turned into a film.

That’s the aim of Cate Blanchett‘s Dirty Pictures, as Deadline was the first to report in 2024. The vision of the current stage adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s novel sees her playing 26 different roles in a highly stylized production, which took London by storm before heading to Broadway.

Asked for the latest on the Blanchett-backed film adaptation during an appearance in the Tonys media room Sunday, Snook replied, “I have as much idea as you do about where that is.”

She continued, “I don’t know how this gets turned into a film. It’s a particularly complex piece to do as a theater show. I mean, dramaturgically it holds up and I think Kip [Williams, the show’s director] would be an incredible director for that project.

If she were able to take part in the film version, Snook added, “it would be a dream come true, but who knows?”

The Succession alum was asked about the theater accomplishments of its cast and creative team since the series wrapped its HBO run in 2023.

“It’s such a special group chat,” she said. “We’re all big theater nerds deep down. It’s been really nice to have that revealed and shared with each other.”

The ritual of being a Tony nominee, and now winner, was a new experience for Snook. “I didn’t even know Tony season even existed!” she laughed. “You end up seeing all of the people who are nominated with you for other shows. … It’s really nice because you get to meet the person who is creating art at the same time as you are.”
