Wuthering Heights, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, was shared just in time for Valentine’s Day.Emerald Fennell is helming the project, and will write, direct and produce the new version of Emily Bronte’s classic novel in her third film, following 2020’s Promising Young Woman and 2023’s Saltburn, the latter of which she worked on with Euphoria star Elordi.She first announced her plans to adapt Wuthering Heights as her third feature last July, posting a surprise announcement to social media with a graphic reading, “Be with me always – Take any form – Drive me mad,” a line from the novel.Late last year, it was reported that the film would hit screens on February 13, 2026, after starting a bidding war that saw Netflix offer $150million for the film – although the filmmakers opted for Warner Bros’ bid of $80 million with a theatrical release.On Friday (February 14), a timely first look was shared by Warner Bros, featuring fingers prying into an open mouth beside blades of grass.

The close-up was captioned: “Happy Valentine’s Day. See you on 02.14.26.”A post shared by Wuthering Heights Movie (@wutheringheightsmovie)The reception to the first glimpse at the film has been largely negative, with some questioning its erotic tone. “So she just wants to make it sexy?” asked one X/Twitter user.
