In the Steamy First Teaser for 'Wuthering Heights,' Emerald Fennell Puts Her Own Spin On Emily Bronte

The first teaser for director Emerald Fennell's (Saltburn) adaptation of Emily Brontë's classic novel Wuthering Heights is here, and if it wasn't clear before now that this film was going to be....let's just call it controversial, the trailer immediately doubles down on its embrace of the story's completely unhinged feel.

The film stars Margot Robbie (Barbie) and Jacob Elordi (Frankenstein) as tortured lovers Heathcliff and Cathy, and it certainly looks gorgeous. The teaser is full of windswept settings, lush (if largely strangely anachronistic) costumes, and plenty of Gothic vibes. It's also incredibly horny, featuring shots of everything from sensual close-ups of hands and fingers in mouths to multiple shots of Elordi shirtless and sweating around the moors.

There are literal bodices ripping here, in case you were curious about whether Fennell was planning to abandon the novel's yearning subtext for something more...overt.
