4 september 2025 в 17:13
This is not a reading assignment for your English class. «Wuthering Heights» will hit the big screen in 2026 starring Hollywood icon, actress, and producer Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi. The famous 19th-century novel written by Emily Bronte has been adapted into a film for 2026, and the trailer reveals all. From passion to revenge, viewers will see two lovers from a different angle.
Below, Hollywood Life provides all the details about the upcoming film «Wuthering Heights».
The story follows the «foundling» — an abandoned child named Heathcliff in 19th century England, who is taken in by the Earnshaw family at «Wuthering Heights», - where he becomes close to Catherine Earnshaw. However, Catherine is set to marry Edgar Linton, who is the complete opposite of Heathcliff.
The love story of Catherine and Heathcliff is central to the first volume, while his revenge against Edgar and the consequences of her actions to marry him unfold.
Almost any film adaptation usually deviates from the book’s foundation due to production length and predicted audience interest, and previous adaptations of «Wuthering Heights» did not include all the details from the original novel. Perhaps the most famous adaptation was the 1992 film «Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights», - which marked Ralph Fiennes' debut.
The cast and crew of the 2026 film have not yet explained their version of the classic, but the trailer showed a modern twist. Charli XCX made her original musical contribution to the film, as heard in the trailer release in September 2025.
The 2026 adaptation also seems to emphasize more sensual moments between Catherine and Heathcliff, with some viewers comparing it to «Bridgerton» and even «Fifty Shades of Grey».
Margot plays Catherine Earnshaw, and Jacob plays Heathcliff. They are joined by castmates Charlotte Mellington (young Catherine), Owen Cooper (young Heathcliff), Hong Chau (Nelly Dean), Vi Nguyen (young Nelly), Shazad Latif (Edgar Linton), and Alison Oliver (Isabella Linton).
«Wuthering Heights» will be released on February 13, 2026, just in time for Valentine’s Day
