When we think of classics, Emily Brontë’s timeless gothic romance Wuthering Heights always makes it to the list of must-reads. The 1847 classic holds a special place in most book-lovers’ hearts, inspiring multiple film adaptations over the decades, each attempting to capture the stormy, tragic love story of ‘Catherine Earnshaw’, or ‘Cathy’, and the dark, brooding ‘Heathcliff’. However, none of those adaptations come anywhere near Emerald Fennell’s bold new vision, a provocative, erotically charged reimagining that has already sparked outrage and fierce debate online.
Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights first trailer out
Emerald Fennell’s film adaptation of Wuthering Heights had been in talks over the past few months, and the first trailer is now officially out. The film, set for a Valentine’s Day 2026 release, stars Barbie actress Margot Robbie as ‘Catherine Earnshaw’ and Euphoria star Jacob Elordi as ‘Heathcliff’. Unlike the popular 2009 adaptation, starring Charlotte Riley and Tom Hardy, this new version channels a more provocative vision.
