"I can follow you like a dog to the end of the world. If it weren't Jacob Elordi uttering it, this quote would be considered questionable. But the young heartthrob manages to make it sound relevant in the much-criticized trailer for the new adaptation of Wuthering Heights, which will be released in early 2026. Leaving aside the controversy surrounding Mr. Heathcliff not being played by an actor who matches Emily Bronte's"
"On the contrary, it even seems that these declarations of love are trending thanks to the return of romantic comedies and period dramas. In the recent release Materialists, the climax came when Chris Evans' character said: When I see your face, I see wrinkles and children that look like you. A quote that could almost have come from the mouth of Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice, considering that director Celine Song has acknowledged the direct influence she gleaned from Jane Austen's work."
Jacob Elordi delivers a modern-sounding declaration of devotion in the criticized Wuthering Heights trailer slated for early 2026. Casting of Heathcliff diverges from Emily Bronte's physical description, yet the line feels timely in 2025. Grand declarations of love are resurfacing alongside a revival of romantic comedies and period dramas. Materialists features a climactic vow from Chris Evans that echoes classic romantic language, informed by Jane Austen's influence on director Celine Song. Netflix capitalizes on the trend through Bridgerton and a new Pride and Prejudice adaptation. Actors across generations, from Olivier to Elordi, continue to embody enduring romantic archetypes on film.
