As a seasoned movie critic with over three decades of cinematic exploration under my belt, I must say that Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Emily Brontë’s classic novel Wuthering Heights is shaping up to be quite an intriguing project. With Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie leading the cast as Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw respectively, it seems we are in for a compelling retelling of this timeless tale.


Director Emerald Fennell, known for her work on Promising Young Woman and Saltburn, has chosen to adapt Emily Brontë’s timeless novel, Wuthering Heights, as her next project. The movie’s cast is already coming together.

It’s been made known that Jacob Elordi is set to collaborate again with Fennell for the portrayal of Heathcliff, while Margot Robbie is slated to embody Catherine Earnshaw. Notably, Robbie has previously partnered with Fennell as a producer on both her films.

The adaptation is in pre-production now, and is set to start filming in the UK in 2025.

Jacob Elordi plays Heathcliff

Is there any background information you’d like about the character Heathcliff from Emily Bronte’s novel “Wuthering Heights”?

Have I not encountered Margot Robbie before? With her notable roles in blockbusters like Barbie, Babylon, Amsterdam, Bombshell, and Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, along with films such as Mary Queen of Scots, I, Tonya, The Wolf of Wall Street, and About Time, plus her iconic portrayal of Harley Quinn in the DC Extended Universe, it’s hard to believe I haven’t seen her somewhere.
