Sarah Snook has no 'idea' how to turn The Picture of Dorian Gray into a film

Sarah Snook has no "idea'" how to turn her stage version of The Picture of Dorian Gray into a film.
The Succession star opened the play - based on the novel of the same name by Oscar Wilde - at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London's West End last year but the show has since transferred to Broadway and she won a Tony Award for the role on Sunday night (08.06.25). Cate Blanchett's production company Dirty Pictures is planning to turn the play into a movie, but Sarah has no idea who they will do it because the stage show is a "a particularly complex piece" of theatre.
Sarah was asked about the film version backstage at the Tony Awards in New York, and said: "I have as much idea as you do about where that is."
She went on to add: "I don't know how this gets turned into a film. It's a particularly complex piece to do as a theatre show.
"I mean, dramaturgically it holds up and I think Kip [the play's director Kip Williams] would be an incredible director for that project."
Sarah went on to add it "'would be a dream come true" for her to take part in the film version of the play.
She added of the Tony Awards: "I didn't even know Tony season even existed! 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."
Sarah previously admitted she had a spooky encounter during the play's run at London's Theatre Royal Haymarket, which has a reputation for being haunted.
She told New Yorker magazine: "I do feel like I saw one [a ghost]. I saw somebody get up, and I was like: 'Oh, cool. They're getting up and leaving. They must need to go to the toilet'.
"But I look back and they were not there. They were in a very white, kind of Victorian play-dress, a big floofy white dress and a bow. I did ask the people who run the theatre, and they said that it's haunted, but they've never seen that ghost."
The Theatre Royal Haymarket is said to be haunted by the ghost of actor/playwright playwright John Baldwin Buckstone, who died in 1879, and actor Sir Patrick Stewart previously claimed to have seen the spook while he was performing in a production of 'Waiting for Godot' with Sir Ian McKellen.

Nicole Scherzinger was 'never satisfied' with career

Nicole Scherzinger was "never satisfied" with herself until she landed her role in Sunset Boulevard. The former Pussycat Dolls singer - who first played Norma Desmond in the revival in London's West End before transferring over to New York's Broadway - credits the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical for changing her life because she didn't think she'd achieved her "full potential" before stepping onto the stage in the show. Speaking on the red carpet at the Tony Awards on Sunday (08.06.25), Nicole told E! News: 'I always felt like I wasn't living in my full potential, my full purpose, and I was never happy with myself, never satisfied. 'It's because I knew I had so much more to give, and this role in this opportunity allowed me to give all of me, and it's changed my life, and I'm so grateful for it.' The 46-year-old star believes her work on Sunset Blvd. - for which she won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical - has helped her find a better way to "connect" with people, She said: 'I'm so grateful that I'm able to connect with people on a deeper, soulful, spiritual level, that I could make a difference in these people's lives, because that's what we do it for. "That's exactly what we do it for. So I'm just so thankful.' But Nicole doesn't believe she could have handled her gruelling stage schedule without her faith. She said: 'I'm still tired because I just finished a matinee and cried my eyes out in that performance. I'm just grateful. 'I'm grateful to God, because God has carried me when I wanted to give up, and he has held me through this entire process. So I give all the glory to Him. Already. It's a very been a very healing process for me.' During her acceptance speech at the Tony Awards, Nicole urged people not to "give up" on their dreams. She said: "Growing up, I always felt like I didn't belong, but you all have made me feel like I belong and I have come home at last. "So if there is anyone who feels like they don't belong or your time hasn't come, don't give up. Just keep on giving and giving because the world needs your love and light more than ever. This is a testament that love always wins." The former X Factor judge - who previously won an Olivier Award for Best Actress when she plated the role in London - fought off competition from Death Becomes Her stars Megan Hilty and Jennifer Simard, Audra McDonald for her role in Gypsy, Boop actress Jasmine Amy Rogers to collect the coveted prize.
