Saltburn director Emerald Fennell is working on a film adaptation of Wuthering Heights.
Self-destruction is a feature of tragedy rather than romance; Wuthering Heights is a tragedy in the purest sense, the tragedy of self-betrayal and transgression.
“I’ve always been obsessed with the gothic,” Fennell wrote in a January 2024 column for the Los Angeles Times.
Citing insiders, Variety reports that the filmmaker will reteam with MRC, the studio behind Saltburn.
