The official trailer for the upcoming adaptation of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights has been released today, giving fans a glimpse at the steamy, Gothic film, starring Frankenstein’s Jacob Elordi and Barbie‘s Margot Robbie.
Directed by Emerald Fennell, who wrote and directed Saltburn and Promising Young Woman, the 2026 iteration of the iconic love story won’t be a faithful adaptation of the novel, as made evident by the highly suggestive close-up shots, the electro-pop soundtrack by Charli xcx and, most pertinently, the surrealist set design.
Where was Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights filmed?
The upcoming Wuthering Heights movie was largely filmed in North Yorkshire and at Sky Studios Elstree. Dramatic scenes of Cathy and Heathcliffe out in the moors were reportedly captured in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Other film locations included Arkengarthdale, Swaledale and the village of Low Row, according to the BBC.
And while the rugged natural landscapes of the North Yorkshire countryside present a beautiful backdrop to the tragic story of Wuthering Heights, it was the glimpses of the interiors that caught our eyes. Dark, moody and minimalist, Emerald Fennell’s surrealist interpretation of the setting, as executed by production designer Suzie Davies, is decidedly modern and incredibly visually arresting.
A full tour of the Wuthering Heights set was captured by content creator Charlotte Roberts, revealing avant-garde design details like braided hair adorning the bed canopy, textural, fleshy pink walls, tiny metallic insect sculptures and wall sconces in the shape of hands. This won’t be your classic retelling of Wuthering Heights!
