If we had a penny for every time we saw Jacob Elordi star as a tortured figure in a Gothic Romantic epic helmed by an auteur unafraid to take a literary masterwork and mould it to their own unique, transgressive vision, then we’d have two pennies \u2014 which isn’t a lot, but crazy that it’s happened twice, right? Yes, having just won our hearts as the pitiable Creature in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein<\/a>, Jacob Elordi’s Byronic hero era is set to continue in Emerald Fennell’s upcoming Emily Bront\u00eb adaptation Wuthering Heights<\/a>, where the Aussie star plays the Heathcliff to Margot Robbie’s Cathy. Check out the new trailer \u2014 soundtracked by none other than budding thesp and pop icon Charli XCX \u2014 below;<\/p>\n

In honour of Elordi’s surprisingly strong northern accent, allow us to be the first to say *clears throat* bloody ‘ell, that looks reyt good, does that. All furtive touches, yearning glances, bad omens, smouldering looks, and even more smouldering confrontations, this latest trailer for Fennell’s transgressive new take on Bront\u00eb’s book is hitting all the right notes \u2014 and it certainly doesn’t hurt that it’s shot like a Caspar David Friedrich painting by Saltburn<\/a> DP Linus Sandgren and set to a hyperpop heartbreak anthem by Charli XCX. Hell, there’s even some salacious wall licking by Elordi’s increasingly desperate malcontent Heathcliff in among all the galloping horses, gorgeous outfits, and wily, windy moors if that’s your sort of thing.<\/p>\n

Described in its official press release as “an epic tale of lust, love and madness,” Wuthering Heights \u2014 whose powerhouse line-up elsewhere includes Hong Chau, Shazad Latif, Ewan Mitchell, and Adolescence<\/a> breakout Owen Cooper \u2014 already looks like a take on Bront\u00eb’s doomed romance for the ages. We’ll find out whether Emerald Fennell’s latest is destined to be with us always \u2014 or indeed drive us mad \u2014 when Wuthering Heights gallops into cinemas on Valentine’s Day next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If we had a penny for every time we saw Jacob Elordi star as a tortured figure in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":133473,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[156,409,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-133472","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133472","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133472"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133472\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/133473"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133472"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133472"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133472"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
