Books I don't care about are going to be made into movies I won't see

According to this, they're going to make a movie out of R.L. Stine's Goosebumps series (big when I was in sixth grade), according to this they're making another Nicholas Sparks adaptation (ugh!), and according to this they're making a movie out of Oscar Wilde's massively creepy horror novel The Picture of Dorian Gray starring Ben Barnes, the dude currently playing Prince Caspian in the new Narnia movie. (He looked really pretty in the previews--almost pretty enough for me to want to see the movie--but in this pic he looks like a disturbingly toothy cross between a romance novel cover model and Ryan Seacrest. I'm hoping it's just a bad photo. They wouldn't hire a non-beautiful person to play Dorian Gray, right?)
