🌩️“WUTHERING HEIGHTS” (2026) — Margot Robbie & Jacob Elordi Ignite Emerald Fennell’s Erotic Gothic Reimagining 🌙🔥

“Some loves burn bright. Others burn you alive.”

This Valentine’s Day, Warner Bros. invites you into a love story so twisted, so obsessive, and so intoxicating that it rewrites the meaning of romance itself. WUTHERING HEIGHTS, Emerald Fennell’s bold new imagining of Emily Brontë’s classic, arrives as one of 2026’s most daring cinematic events — erotic, gothic, psychologically explosive, and anchored by two of

Hollywood’s most magnetic stars.

📅 International Release: February 11, 2026

📅 US Release: February 13, 2026

🎬 Studio: Warner Bros. Pictures

A haunting Valentine for audiences who crave passion with teeth.

🌑 What Is Wuthering Heights About? — A Love That Devours Everything

At its core, Wuthering Heights is the story of Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, two soulmates bound not by romance but by obsession. Their connection is raw, wild, and destructive — a relationship that transcends logic and society, but also destroys everyone in its path.

In Emerald Fennell’s vision:

• Love becomes a fever

• Desire becomes a weapon

• The moors become a living force

• And longing becomes a slow, poetic form of violence

This isn’t a tale about falling in love.

It’s a tale about being consumed by it.

“You don’t choose this love. It chooses you… and refuses to let go.”

🌪️ Emerald Fennell’s Bold New Vision — Gothic, Erotic, Untamed

Fresh off Saltburn, Emerald Fennell brings her signature blend of sensuality, shock, and emotional brutality to Brontë’s masterpiece. This isn’t a polite period adaptation — it’s a feral, cinematic reinvention.

Expect:

🔥 Storm-drenched landscapes

🔥 Claustrophobic intimacy

🔥 Volatile mood swings

🔥 Feverish sexual tension

🔥 Raw emotional violence

🔥 A romance that feels more like a haunting

Fennell intensifies every emotion Brontë wrote — jealousy, desire, rage, abandonment — and reclaims the story as a psychological descent into the ruins of a toxic bond.

✔ It centers on the psychological damage of their bond

✔ It highlights Catherine’s rage and desire, not just her romance

✔ It turns the moors into a character, alive with emotion

Saltburn or Crimson Peak rather than classic dramas

This isn’t polite Victorian heartbreak — it’s primal, sensual, and unforgettable.
