This new version of Emily Bronte’s renowned novel casts Margot, known for her role as Barbie, and Jacob, the Saltburn actor, as the ill-fated couple Catherine and Heathcliff.
Fans hoping for an accurate adaptation might be surprised, as Emeralds’ forthcoming movie is reportedly embracing the ‘stylised depravity’ she is recognized for after directing the 2023 Netflix sensation.
According to World of Reel, Emerald’s Wuthering Heights received a mixed reaction at its first test screening in Dallas, Texas this month.
The feature opens with a public hanging that sees the condemned man ‘ejaculate mid-execution’.
His agony sends the crowd into an ‘orgiastic frenzy’ and a nun reportedly fondles ‘the corpse’s visible erection’.

The film is also said to feature ‘intimate, clinical and purposefully discomforting’ masturbation scenes and a BDSM-inspired sex scene involving horse reins.
The camera is also said to linger on ‘suggestive’ imagery including ‘egg yolks running through fingers’ and ‘dough being kneaded with quiet aggression’.
The publication does note that Margot and Jacob both deliver ‘committed performances’ and have ‘great chemistry’.
Emerald has made a name for herself as the director of Promising Young Woman and the black comedy Saltburn which saw a character drinking another’s dirty bathwater.
Along with her directing and writing career, she has also acted, noteably playing Queen Camilla in The Crown.
Wuthering Heights was published by Emily Brontë in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, one year before her death.
It follows the story of an orphan, Heathcliff, who is taken in by the Earnshaw family, and he later grows close to their daughter and his foster sister, Cathy.
The first known adaptation was from A. V. Bramble in 1920, with Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon’s 1939 version being nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture.

Born in 1818 in West Yorkshire, Emily was the fifth of six children, and spent most of her short life in the moorland village of Haworth, where her Irish father Patrick was curate.
But life dealt Emily a series of terrible blows as she lost her mother when she was three, then two older sisters when she was seven.
Following her trauma, the novelist retreated into a fantasy world, writing stories and poetry with her siblings.
The writer poured her suffering and passion into Wuthering Heights, a wrenching love story as raw as the Yorkshire Moors on which it’s set.
