Emerald Fennell continues to expand her catalog as a director, and soon she will tackle a literary classic that has had multiple adaptations over the years: it is none other than “Wuthering Heights“.
The novel written by Emily Brontë has had a long cinematic journey and next year, filming for its new movie will begin, which will star two of the most popular actors in the modern industry.
Margot Robbie (Barbie) will not only be one of the leads but will also produce it under her banner, LuckyChap Entertainment, with which she has carried out multiple highly anticipated projects, such as Saltburn.
Who is the cast of Wuthering Heights?
Margot Robbie has been confirmed alongside Jacob Elordi (Saltburn) to star in the new adaptation of the literary classic on the big screen, meaning the actors will bring to life Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff.
So far, they are the only stars in the project’s cast, and this isn’t the first time they have worked together, as they also shared moments in “See You at 5”, the short film that is a Chanel campaign directed by Luca Guadagnino.
The casting has generated a lot of buzz, as many believed that the participation of these two stars was not the best choice, given that they were too well-known to take on a cult film so beloved by the audience.
What is Wuthering Heights about?
The new movie Wuthering Heights will be a contemporary reinterpretation of the classic novel by Emily Brontë, exploring themes of love, revenge and the tumultuous relationship between the Earnshaw and Linton families.
It undoubtedly promises to bring a fresh perspective to this beloved romantic story, which has seen various interpretations since its publication in 1847. The title will be the first major film version since 2011.
When could Wuthering Heights be released?
For now, the release date is a mystery. It has been confirmed that filming is scheduled for early 2025 in the UK, so it is likely that the upcoming drama will be arriving in theaters sometime in 2026.
