Oscar-nominated actress and producer Margot Robbie (Barbie) and BAFTA-nominated actor Jacob Elordi (Saltburn) will star in a film adaptation of Emily Brontë's classic Wuthering Heights. Describing the casting decision as "an A-list pairing," Deadline reported that Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Woman) will write, direct and produce. In addition to being the studio on the project, MRC will also finance it and has set LuckyChap to produce.
The film is currently in pre-production, gearing up for a U.K. shoot in 2025. Robbie plays Catherine Earnshaw and Elordi is Heathcliff. Deadline noted that Wuthering Heights reunites Elordi and Fennell, with the actor starring in the director's most recent movie, Saltburn.
