New Movie Adaptation of Emily Bronte's Classic Novel "Wuthering Heights"

Today I learned that there's a new upcoming film adaptation of Emily Bronte's classic novel Wuthering Heights. It's scheduled for release this coming February. Wuthering Heights is one of the very few classic novels that I actually enjoyed reading. So I might watch this one to find out how faithful they would be on the source material. 

Wuthering Heights has been adapted for the movie screen a few times in the past. The most notable of these adaptations are the 1939 adaptation starring Laurience Olivier and Merle Oberon and the 1992 adaptation starring Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche. 

The 2026 adaptation will feature Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff respectively. Interestingly enough, Jacob Elordi just starred last year in another movie adaptation of another classic novel. He played "the monster" or "the creature" in Guillermo del Toro's adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
