Wuthering Heights (2026) Nordic edition

The new adaptation of "Wuthering Heights" has been heavily anticipated with its high-profile castings of stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi and with the provocative, deeply original filmmaker Emerald Fennell (Saltburn, Promising Young Woman) at its helm. Fennell radically reimaigned the original story for a contemporary take on love, lust, obsession, and the balance between men and women.

At the center of the film are Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, portraying the iconic Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff. The narrative remains rooted in Emily Brontë’s enduring tale of obsessive love and generational trauma, set against the bleak, windswept Yorkshire moors. It follows the turbulent and destructive relationship between Catherine and Heathcliff, whose bond defies social boundaries yet ultimately fractures under the pressures of class, revenge, and emotional volatility. As their story unfolds, its consequences ripple through the lives of those around them, creating a haunting exploration of love’s darker extremes.

Fennell's adaptation leans into the gothic intensity and psychology of the source material for a modern, stylized version of one of the most enduring stories of all time.
