Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi are set to star in a new adaptation of Wuthering Heights from director Emerald Fennell.
According toDeadline, Robbie is set to star as Catherine Earnshaw with Elordi as Heathcliff. Fennell, who announced that an adaptation of the classic novel would be her next project back in June, will write the screenplay in addition to producing and helming the pic. Elordi recently starred in Fennell’s Saltburn, with Robbie having produced the pic under her LuckyChap banner.
Wuthering Heights, the only novel by English writer Emily Brontë, was published in 1847 and follows two families, the Earnshaws and the Lintons, and their turbulent relationship with the Earnshaw’s foster son Heathcliff. It’s widely considered to be of the greatest novels ever written (and it gave us that amazing Kate Bush song of the same name which we hope will play over the end credits).
