Overview
- Warner Bros.’ adaptation, directed by Emerald Fennell and led by Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, opens February 13 after high-profile premieres in Los Angeles and London.
- Robbie says she initially planned only to produce before stepping into Catherine Earnshaw, with the film aging the character up to make contemporary pressures more resonant.
- Elordi’s role as Heathcliff continues to draw scrutiny over racial representation, with new analysis noting the novel’s intentionally ambiguous descriptions and varied past interpretations.
- Reports cite unnamed claims of ‘in-house’ casting tied to Robbie’s LuckyChap; these allegations, relayed by the Daily Mail and reported by WION, have not been independently substantiated.
- Penguin Classics UK reports a 469% year-on-year jump in January sales of Wuthering Heights, reflecting heightened interest ahead of the film’s Valentine’s-weekend release.
