[Trailer] Margot Robbie & Jacob Elordi Ignite in Steamy First Look at ‘Wuthering Heights’

by

At last, the initial trailer for Emerald Fennell’s fresh take on Wuthering Heights has been released, and it deviates significantly from the typical format of a classic period movie. Rather than offering somber gazes and grand, melancholic estates, the sneak peek appears to be reminiscent of Bridgerton rather than Downton Abbey.

In this rephrased version, I’ve aimed to make the text more conversational and easy to understand:

The movie features Margot Robbie as Catherine Earnshaw and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff. The trailer immediately highlights their intense chemistry. It starts with a broad view of the Yorkshire moors, followed by a close-up of Robbie’s face, before transitioning to an intimate shot of two women shaping bread dough.

By altering the structure and using everyday language, I hope this version maintains the original meaning while being more accessible for readers.

Afterward, things heat up significantly. The audience witnesses perspiring backs, bare-chested Elordi lifting hay bales, continued dough kneading, and numerous boundaries being crossed by hands and lips. A corset is laced tighter before it’s torn asunder, more bare chest of Elordi, the two main characters on the verge of kissing, and a fish receiving an unwelcome finger in its mouth.

Drive me mad. “Wuthering Heights” comes to theaters Valentine’s Day.

The narrative originates from Emily Brontë’s 1847 novel, often hailed as a literary masterpiece in English literature. This book delves into the complex relationships between the Earnshaw and Linton families, with Heathcliff serving as the main character in this unfolding drama. Fennell’s movie adaptation retains the original setting but noticeably intensifies the sensual elements.

Through her production company LuckyChap, Robbie is involved in making the movie as well – a company that’s already responsible for films like Saltburn and Promising Young Woman. With this project, she’s collaborating with Fennell for the third time, as he wrote and directed the film.

The project’s progress hasn’t been entirely free of bumps. There was pushback when Fennell chose Elordi to play Heathcliff, as the character in the book is portrayed as a “dark-skinned gypsy” and a “lascar,” a term that originally referred to sailors from India or Southeast Asia. Some readers believe these racial and class elements are crucial to the story, and they feel it’s significant that the adaptation maintains this aspect of the original text.

Regardless of the debate surrounding it, Elordi has expressed positive sentiments about his involvement. In a recent interview with Deadline, he enthused, “Everyone’s acting abilities are astounding. It’s a remarkable romance. It’s an authentic epic. It’s visually stunning. The script is captivating. The costumes are phenomenal.

As a film lover, I’m thrilled to share that the upcoming cinematic adaptation of Wuthering Heights is being supported by MRC. The distribution rights have been secured by Warner Bros., following a fierce bidding competition they successfully won. Mark your calendars, as this masterpiece will grace our screens on February 13, 2026 – making it the perfect film to enjoy on Valentine’s Day!
