Australian actors Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi have paired up with filmmaker Emerald Fennell to bring alive Emily Brontë’s classic novel “Wuthering Heights” on screen.
The trailer of the film that was released on Wednesday by Warner Bros took the internet by storm. The film is set to hit the screens on Valentine’s Day, 2026.
Margot, 35, plays Catherine, while Elordi, 28, portrays Heathcliff. The cast also features Hong Chau, Alison Oliver and Shazad Latif. The film will feature original songs from Charli XCX.
The psychological drama is directed, written and produced by Fennel.
An adaptation of the 1847 gothic romance by Emily Bronte, the story is set in Yorkshire Moors following the tumultuous, obsessive love and vengeance between Catherine Earnshaw and the orphaned anti-hero Heathcliff.
“Just you wait,” Robbie recently teased about the movie in a clip shared to Instagram. “It’s bananas. It’s great. It’s brilliant.”

Robbie is also producing the movie through her company LuckyChap. Oscar-winner Fennell previously directed “Promising Young Woman” and “Saltburn”, both also produced by Robbie and her husband Tom Ackerly.
The novel has been adapted for the screen a number of times. Emma Mackey starred in a 2022 movie titled “Emily”, which is a fictionalised account of how Brontë came to write Withering Heights.
On the work front, Robbie most recently appeared on the big screen in “Barbie”. She will also star alongside Colin Farrell in “A Big Bold Beautiful Journey” which is set to release on September 19.
Elordi starred in Fennell’s “Saltburn” and is gearing up for “Frankenstein” and season 3 of “Euphoria”.
