A new trailer for Emerald Fennell’s highly anticipated Wuthering Heights adaptation has arrived, featuring a distressed Margot Robbie and a brooding Jacob Elordi.
In the movie, Robbie stars as the lead character of Catherine Earnshaw, opposite Elordi as Heathcliff, who are both seen passionately kissing each other at various points in the trailer.
The new trailer is also brimming with yearning glances and smouldering looks, secret touches and plenty of pleasured gasps on Robbie’s behalf.
It opens with the two lovers in conversation. “What should you do, Heathcliff, if you were rich?”, Robbie’s Cathy asks Heathcliff. “I suppose, I’d do what all rich men do. Live in a big house, and be cruel to my servants, take a wife…” He replies.
We later see Heathcliff go missing after hearing that Mr Linton has asked for Cathy’s hand in marriage. We see Robbie on her wedding day looking pained. When asked where the obstacle lies, she points dramatically to her heart.
“Why did you leave me?” Cathy begs of Heathcliff in one clip. He answers in his clipped Northern accent, “Why did you betray your own heart?”
The synopsis shares that the film is “inspired by the greatest love story of all time.” Flashes of written text across the atmospheric clips share, “Be with me anywhere. Take any form. Drive me mad.”
Alongside the two lead actors, the rest of the ensemble cast includes the likes of Hong Chau as Nelly Dean, Alison Oliver as Isabella Linton, Shazad Latif as Edgar Linton, and Adolescence star Owen Cooper as Young Heathcliff.
During the trailer, the recently released Charli XCX song, ‘Chains of Love’, plays in the background. Far Out gave this song a glowing four-and-a-half-star review, writing, “It’s a perfect meeting in the middle. This is still a Charli XCX song, complete with the familiar vocal effect and huge electronic details, but in the vastness of it and classical elements, it becomes rich and cinematic, yet all in her own way.”
