A sneak peek at Wuthering Heights: Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi are locked in a stormy romance in Emerald Fennell's upcoming cinematic take.
In the world of cinema, the upcoming film adaptation of Emily Bronte's classic novel "Wuthering Heights" is generating quite a buzz. Scheduled for release in theatres on February 13, 2026, this modern take on the timeless tale promises to be erotic and provocative.
Emerald Fennell, known for her directing work on "Promising Young Woman," has taken the helm for this new adaptation. Fennell's vision for "Wuthering Heights" is set to delve into controversial themes such as mental cruelty, domestic violence, and abusive relationships, all while maintaining the novel's original spirit.
The cast for the film is impressive, with Margot Robbie portraying Catherine Earnshaw and Jacob Elordi taking on the role of Heathcliff. Other stars gracing the screen include Hong Chau, Shazad Latif, Alison Oliver, Martin Clunes, and Ewan Mitchell.
The casting of Elordi as Heathcliff, a character described in the novel as a "dark-skinned gypsy" and "under-bred," has faced backlash from some netizens. However, Karmel Cochrane, the casting director for the film, defended the decision, stating, "it's just a book... That is not based on real life... It's all art."
The teaser for "Wuthering Heights" has been released, featuring steamy scenes between Elordi and Robbie. In one particularly intriguing moment, Elordi's Heathcliff asks Robbie's Catherine Earnshaw, "Do you want me to stop?" to which she replies, "No."
Despite the controversy surrounding the casting, the release date for "Wuthering Heights" remains unchanged. Fans of the novel and cinema enthusiasts alike are eagerly awaiting the film's release next year. The Sands Film Festival even featured a discussion on the casting of Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff, reflecting the wide interest in this new adaptation.
"Wuthering Heights," published under the pseudonym Ellis Bell in 1847, was controversial for its depiction of mental cruelty, domestic violence, abusive relationships, and challenges to Victorian morality and social norms. This new adaptation promises to faithfully carry on that tradition, offering a fresh take on a classic tale.
