Emerald Fennell has found her Cathy and Heathcliff. The “Saltburn” and “Promising Young Woman” director had set up an adaptation of Emily Bronte’s “Wuthering Heights” at MRC, and now it’s full speed into the moors as Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi have joined the project in the lead roles of the doomed lovers.
Elordi is reuniting with Fennell after starring in her nuclear reactor of a social media buzz generator “Saltburn” in 2023, which Robbie had produced. LuckyChap will be producing for MRC.
The film is now in pre-production, gearing up for a UK shoot in 2025. Fennell had already teased the project in a cryptic way, with an Instagram post featuring the title and the tagline “Be with me always. Take any form. Drive me mad.”
More to come…
