I find the font they use for the promo stuff stupid.
The font is aptly gothic, PP. I really like it.
It's going to be a travesty isn't it. But does she get her kit off?
Most of the audience will be there to see JE get his kit off and I hope Emerald has served us the schlong we deserve - a nice escape for most women from their dreary flaccid home lives
Obvs I’m booked in for a premium dining experience with the ladies on release day

To me it suggests 1970s B movies.

Er, I can’t relate to this sentiment even one bit.
I was just trying to wind up the old sex pest turds on here

Is there any other kind of ROFer?
Apparently not
Haven’t frequented here for a long while and remembering why now
Any zombies in this remake?
They’ll be a few after what she was wearing at the premiere.
I will not be watching, as a basic classic literature lover I hate Wuthering heights and the trailers have not made me change my mind
Apparently it's not Wuthering Heights; its "Wuthering Heights".
W Heights doesn’t translate well into a screenplay or stage imo and this-looks rubbish. Margot Robbie in those silly dresses is not selling it.
She’s selling something though ffs
You are so right Feebs, Wuthering Heights is shyte.
Saw the trailer recently and when Heathcliff says "Cathy" we burst out laughing. JE seems to have decided to put a really stupid voice on for the role.
Just read the Guardian review which pointed out that there is no Hindley in this adaptation. That’s a no then from me.
it's a "no" from me too
Times review is pretty scathing but seems there’s BDSM.
I see the key q still as yet unanswered
Just read the Guardian review which pointed out that there is no Hindley in this adaptation.
I've read the novel at least twice and unless you catch me right after reading, I wouldn't be able to tell you who's who: with all the names being recycled across generations, I keep confusing the Earnshaw Lintons and Linton Earnshaws and Edgar Lintons and Linton Heathcliffs.
I have no recollection of Hindley.
I fully endorse m'learned ftiend Phoebe's review of this book, above. Utter bilge.
PP, it’s Cathy’s dickhead brother
All that attempted yorkshire dialect at the beginning must be the worst start to any novel ever. Then endless people going out on the moors and being laid up for weeks with a chill.
Oh wang but the moors are so foreboding and such a wonderful metaphor for heathcliff's character.
Yeah, I could do GCSE english essays too, but I knew what I was writing was utter bollocks

Bro this is so basic. This would never get you an A* today (or a 9 even).
Well I haven't read it for 30+ years and I got one when I did, so fck you in the ear
Well same here- and I would still get one now, whereas you wouldn’t. You basic betty.
Given that there was one a few years ago, and a definitive one with Olivier, Oberon, and Niven in the thirties, what's the fooking point of this?
Bun, that is such a shyte comeback I can't be arsed.
It is a shte book
I honestly thought you knew I was joking.
Anyhooo…
Don't insult my GCSEs man, that's all I have to lord it with over my children (until they do them)
I read WH for A level and still remember finishing it as a storm raged outside, proper atmospheric.
From the state of this promo it’s not a serious film, but a spectacle. Of sort.s
She couldn't even get the bloody clothes right: "Fennell worked with costume designer Jacqueline Durran to create dozens of costumes (Cathy alone, played by Margot Robbie, had 50) that were heavily inspired by the extravagant, unselfconscious and campy outfits of the mid-century. While making the film, Fennell passed around a book inches-thick with visual references that spanned Scarlett O’Hara in “Gone with the Wind” (1939) to “Donkey Skin” (1970). If it wasn’t already obvious, period accuracy is a concept Fennell simply does not buy into. ... “When I’m asked about why the costumes are a particular way, I find that really difficult to answer,” designer Durran said in London. “It’s a kind of instinctive, emotional reason.” Fennell agreed: “It’s not connected to the period, it’s connected to the emotional truth.” https://edition.cnn.com/2026/02/12/style/wuthering-heights-emerald-fenn…
W Heights is misunderstood by men and women alike. It's one of those books which suffers from having the lazy opinions of the semi-literate projected onto it.
It's seen as bodice-ripper chick-lit. Accordingly, scoffed at by blokes, and swooned over by women.
They’re both wrong. It’s not a romantic book. It's full of rage and sadism, and in many ways functions as an anti love story. Some v flucked-up people in it. But many people just consult their half-remembered prejudices, instead of actually reading it.
This director is guilty of that. She admits that she didn’t like the book when she re-read it, so decided to make her own, “better”, version.
Casting a 35 year old Aussie barbie in the role of a Yorkshire teenager - what more evidence of vandalism-adjacent incompetence does one need.
Of course, her film is not targeted at readers lol. It's 50 shades of Grey meets Downton Abbey - glossy, conventional, undemanding tripe for the K-pop generation. Annoyingly, it'll probably do well commercially.
The Independent gave it one star; and I reckon that's generous:
"It uses the guise of interpretation to gut one of the most impassioned, emotionally violent novels ever written, and then toss its flayed skin over whatever romance tropes seem most marketable. Adaptation or not, it’s an astonishingly hollow work. ...
Looks like papercuts is still doing that English GCSE

It's a story about an extremely fvcked up maid, Nelly Dean, who drives everyone around her to ruin.
One critic calls her "one of the consummate villains in English literature". Diamond hard agree.
Agree with papercuts- it’s not at all a romantic book
Yes yes ok Wang we get it. The edexcel exam board would award you an A** if they could.
I assume that's some sort of known joke-shop exam board so I will give you a provisional heh
It’s a fantasy ffs pouts, not a documentary. Movie people say anything and everything about their product.

Wang would get an A* today from any right minded marker on account of that his opinions on this are absolutely bang on.
Thanks bro
You wouldnt believe the bollocks i spouted about streetcar named desire at a-level
I saw the director interviewed. Typical up-herself luvvie. Complacent people produce self-indulgent chyme. https://www.lbc.co.uk/article/working-class-arts-uk-drama-5HjdRJk_2/

If “Wuthering Heights” were true to the spirit of what it feels like to read Wuthering Heights, at any age, it wouldn’t be a film you could market with brand tie-ins and Valentine’s Day screenings. It would disturb people." https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/reviews/wuthering-heights-review-margot-robbie-jacob-elordi-b2917142.html?test_group=lighteradlayout
