"In a new interview with British Vogue, Robbie opened up about some of the most obvious departures from Brontë's novel - beginning with her character, Catherine "Cathy" Earnshaw. In the book, Cathy has brown hair, and the Earnshaws' "handsome dark eyes" mark a symbolic difference from their neighbors, the Lintons. However, Robbie sports her familiar blonde hair and blue eyes in the film."
"In the interview (published on Dec. 4), Robbie also weighed in on the overall tone of the film. The first teaser - set to a catchy, cinematic remix of Charli XCX's "Everything is Romantic" - included erotic imagery that took many viewers by surprise. "Everyone's expecting this to be very, very raunchy. I think people will be surprised," Robbie said. "Not to say there aren't sexual elements and that it's not provocative - it definitely is provocative - but it's more romantic than provocative.""
"Of course, the biggest controversy behind Fennell's Wuthering Heights is the casting of Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff. Fennell told Vogue that seeing the actor in costume on Saltburn, "I was like, 'Oh my God, it's the Heathcliff on the cover of the book that I've had since I was a teenager.'" However, as readers have pointed out, Heathcliff is described as "dark-skinned" in Brontë's novel."
Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights arrives Feb. 13 and features Margot Robbie as Catherine 'Cathy' Earnshaw with blonde hair and blue eyes, portraying the character in her mid-20s to early 30s rather than the original brown-haired, 18-year-old description. The first teaser uses a remix of Charli XCX's 'Everything is Romantic' and includes erotic imagery. The film's tone leans more romantic than purely raunchy while retaining provocative sexual elements. Jacob Elordi plays Heathcliff, a casting choice that contrasts with the original depiction of Heathcliff as dark-skinned, prompting debate among readers and viewers.
