The first teaser for Emerald Fennel’s Wuthering Heights has dropped, soundtracked by Charli XCX – who has promised original tracks for the Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi film.
As a great British artist once said: “Everything is romantic”.
That songwriter was, of course, Brat-in-chief Charli XCX, who has stayed at the forefront of the zeitgeist for most of the last two years with her lime green record, complete with remixes, re-releases and multiple killer performances.
And it seems like Brat summer has extended all the way to moors of West Yorkshire, where the up-and-coming film adaptation of Emily Brontë’s classic Wuthering Heights is set.
Helmed by Saltburn director Emerald Fennel and featuring the same film’s star Jacob Elordi as Heathcliffe, alongside Barbie‘s Margot Robbie as Catherine Earnshaw, the first (predictably) horny trailer has dropped today (4 September), soundtracked by “Everything is romantic”, alongside a bonus treat from Charli XCX – new music.

“New original songs by me [Charli XCX] for Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi,” Charli wrote on X before wishing fans a “happy early Valentines” – the film’s release date.
The actual trailer is mercifully horny, and features a very topless Jacob Elordi for a lot of it.
“I can follow you like a dog to the end of the world,” Elordi tells Robbie over shots of his rippling muscles and Robbie clearly lost in thought.
Though in the first half of the novel, Heathcliff is considered a romantic hero, he later becomes vengeful and bitter, turning into a “Byronic hero”, destroying himself and those around him with jealousy – a descent into madness that is showcased in the teaser.
“Do you want me to stop?” he asks Robbie. “No,” comes the breathy reply.
There’s people fingering food, closeups of cleavage and palpable sexual chemistry. An instant Emerald Fennel classic!
Wuthering Heights received backlash for Elordi’s casting; in the original copy, Heathcliff is described using (now outdated) references that would imply he is not caucasian.
He is described as “a little Lascar”, a 19th-century term for an Indian sailor, as well as being asked if his mother was “an Indian queen”.
Glimpses of the wider cast show Hong Chau as Nelly Dean, Shazad Latif as Edgar Linton, Alison Oliver as Isabella Linton, as well as Martin Clnes and Ewan Mitchell.
