Actor Margot Robbie says her romance film “Wuthering Heights” sinks into a love dark enough to wound, describing Cathy and Jacob Elordi’s Heathcliff as doomed lovers whose dynamic makes the brooding new adaptation both “sadomasochistic and desperately sweet.”
"I think they're just a couple who are destined to be doomed,” the “Barbie” actor told Reuters in an interview.
Warner Bros Pictures will roll out British director Emerald Fennell’s film globally in theaters on February 11 to coincide with Valentine’s Day week. The film revisits one of literature’s most enduring and reinterpreted love stories.
Since Emily Brontë published the book "Wuthering Heights" in 1847, its convoluted tale of Cathy and Heathcliff bound by childhood devotion yet divided by class, privilege and their own self‑sabotaging impulses — has inspired generations of filmmakers, playwrights, musicians and directors.
