Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi have been cast in a new film adaptation of Emily Brontë's 'Wuthering Heights,' directed by Emerald Fennell. The casting has sparked controversy, with critics highlighting the misalignment of the actors' appearances with the characters' descriptions in the novel, particularly Heathcliff's dark-skinned background. Despite the backlash, production is set to begin in the UK in 2025. Fennell, known for her Oscar-winning film 'Promising Young Woman,' will write, direct, and produce the adaptation. Robbie's production company, LuckyChap, will be involved in the project. The film aims to capture the turbulent and tragic romance of the classic gothic novel.
