A Bold New Trailer for Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights Brings the Epic Love Story to Life
The trailer for Emerald Fennell's highly anticipated adaptation of Emily Brontë's classic novel, Wuthering Heights, has finally arrived, and it promises to be a cinematic spectacle. The film, set in the Yorkshire moors, brings to life the tumultuous love affair between Catherine (Margot Robbie) and Heathcliff (Jacob Elordi), two characters at the heart of Brontë's 1847 masterpiece.
The trailer begins with a poignant scene of Catherine and Heathcliff meeting as children, their eyes locking in a way that hints at a bond that will last a lifetime. As they grow older, their love becomes increasingly intense, marked by kisses in the rain and declarations of undying devotion. The film's title card promises that this is "the greatest love story of all time," and judging by the trailer, it's hard not to be swept up in the passion and intensity of Brontë's classic tale.
The adaptation has been shrouded in controversy from its inception, with critics questioning the casting choices – particularly Margot Robbie as Catherine, who some argued was too old for the role. However, Fennell, known for her bold and unapologetic approach to storytelling, seems to be on a mission to bring this iconic novel to life in a way that will leave audiences breathless.
The trailer offers a glimpse into Fennell's signature style, with vibrant colors and an eclectic soundtrack that adds to the film's sense of intensity. The clip also hints at some of the more provocative moments from the book – including a scene in which the condemned man ejaculates mid-execution during a public hanging – sparking controversy among critics.
At the Brontë Women's Writing festival, Fennell defended her vision for the film, stating that she has been "obsessed" with the novel since reading it at 14 years old. She acknowledged that making a film of such a personal and private work is an act of self-masochism, but remains committed to bringing Brontë's masterpiece to life in all its unflinching glory.
Wuthering Heights is set to hit cinemas on Valentine's Day in 2026, promising to be a cinematic experience like no other. With Fennell at the helm and this bold new trailer on the horizon, it's clear that she's not afraid to take risks and push boundaries to bring this epic love story to life.

Oh man, I'm low-key freaking out about Wuthering Heights... Margot Robbie as Catherine is gonna be a major issue 
and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff? Like, what's next? Casting Chris Evans as Spider-Man or something? 
And don't even get me started on the controversy surrounding this film... some scenes are straight-up disturbing 
I mean, who thought it was a good idea to show someone ejaculating mid-execution? 
I mean, who wouldn't want to see a movie about Wuthering Heights? But, like, Margot Robbie as Catherine is still a bit weird... 
I get that Fennell wanted someone with a lot of experience and box office draw, but doesn't she think she's a bit too old for the role? 
On the other hand, Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff seems perfect... 
I just hope they don't make it too sappy or cheesy. And what about the whole thing with the trailer being super dramatic and intense? Is that really necessary? Can't we just get a chill adaptation for once? 
I love how Emerald Fennell is going for a bold and unapologetic approach to storytelling - brings the passion and intensity of Brontë's classic tale right up front 
and can we talk about that trailer soundtrack? it's giving me LIFE 
The trailer gives me chills, especially that scene where Catherine and Heathcliff lock eyes as kids 
It's like you can feel the intensity of their love story already. I'm curious to see how she'll tackle those more provocative moments from the book without losing sight of what makes Wuthering Heights such an iconic tale 
I mean, who doesn't love a good epic love story? But at the same time, I gotta say that some of these casting choices are just...no 
Like, Margot Robbie as Catherine is probs not gonna fly with everyone. And can we talk about how Jacob Elordi's character Heathcliff has been done to death in other adaptations? 
Still, if anyone can make this work, it's Emerald Fennell 
, though. Those colors are EVERYTHING 
And that soundtrack? *chef's kiss* It's gonna be a wild ride in 2026 
Can't wait to see how Fennell brings this iconic novel to life 
. and what's with the trailer being so... loud? it feels like they're trying to distract from the fact that some scenes are straight up based on real life events 
.
. And can we talk about that soundtrack? It's like Fennell is speaking our language 
. The trailer does look stunning, though - those colors are something else! Can't wait to see what they do with the more...ahem...sensitive moments from the book 
. And what's up with the provocative moments? 
can't wait to see how fennell brings this wild ride to life in 2026
