In a dramatic retelling of this great Romantic novel, young and unsuspecting governess Jane Eyre must fight to secure her freedom and identity in a world that condemns her for it. Jane Eyre arrives in 1846 to take up the post of governess to Rochester's ward, Adele, at Thornfield Hall. Jane and Rochester fall in love but their happiness is jeopardized by the discovery of the terrible secret from Rochester's past. The action, contained in a single setting with one small inset scene, captures all the tension and drama that fans and newcomers alike could want from this great love story.
Several Australian sites are celebrating the fact that Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi will be at the Wuthering Heights opening night in Sydney as announced on this video. From Variety Australia: To celebrate the opening night of their new film, “Wuthering Heights“, Australian stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi are coming to Sydney. The actors will appear at the screening going ahead at Sydney’s State Theatre on Thursday, February 12th – the same day as its national cinema release – which will mark the grand finale of a global tour that also sees them head to LA, Paris and London. “Sydney, we are so thrilled to bring our upcoming film, “Wuthering Heights”, down under this summer,” Elordi said. Robbie added: “Come on down with us as we crash onto Australian shores. Wild, unrestrained and impossible to resist.” Producer and Oscar nominee Josey McNamara is also confirmed to attend.

For Hello! Wuthering Heights is one of '9 most anticipated films of 2026 that are worth the cinema trip'. Wuthering Heights Emily Brontë's gothic novel gets the Emerald Fennell treatment in this sweeping adaptation starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, with a soundtrack by Charli XCX. This visually stunning take by Saltburn director Emerald follows Cathy (Margot) and Heathcliff (Jacob) from their first meeting as children in the West Yorkshire moors through their intoxicating and tumultuous love affair as adults. As a huge fan of Wuthering Heights, I'm particularly excited to see Fennell's take on the much-loved classic. While the casting of Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff has sparked controversy, with Brontë's character described as "dark-skinned" and a "lascar" (a colonial term for a sailor or soldier from South Asia) in the novel, there's no doubt the striking Saltburn actor will deliver a compelling performance.

The Yorkshire Post reports that a derelict building in Haworth may be turned into an escape room. A derelict listed building a short distance from where the Brontë sisters grew up could become an escape room venue. 13-15 Main Street in Haworth is the former Penny Lane craft and gift shop, but has been empty for several years. Now a new application has been submitted to turn the upper floors of the building into an escape room venue with eight separate rooms. [...] The ground floor will become a cheese shop that also serves ice cream and coffee. The building is just a short walk from the Brontë Parsonage and is on the iconic Main Street, one of the district’s most popular tourist destinations. The planning application and a listed building consent application for the works have now been submitted to Bradford Council by Hayley Smith. As well as the change of use, the development would also include the construction of a three-storey rear extension and single storey glazed orangery to provide seating. The planning application says: “The property lies within the Haworth Conservation Area (designated 1971), renowned for its strong historic and architectural character, tightly knit townscape, stepped rooflines and predominant use of natural stone, with notable Brontë associations. “The site occupies a prominent position on Main Street, the historic spine of the conservation area, characterised by independent shops, cafés and cultural attractions. “The ground-floor unit will remain in Use Class E and will trade as a cheese shop with ancillary on-premises ice-cream and coffee sales and events ancillary to the shop function; its existing entrance will be retained. “The rear extension at ground floor will accommodate an accessible WC, additional sales area and storage, and the orangery will serve as a customer seating area ancillary to the shop. “The building is in very poor condition. The roof is severely compromised, particularly to the rear, with rotten joists and partial collapse. “The central chimney is cracked and unstable, with visible movement. Internally, several chimney breasts are disused and appear to have undergone modern interventions or alterations using unsympathetic materials such as red brick and engineered stone.” The venue would be used by a maximum of four groups at any one time, with up to five participants per group. It would open between 10am and 9.30pm. A decision on the application is expected in March. (Chris Young)
And today, another new illustrated edition of Wuthering Heights:
by Emily Brontë Illustrated (Cover art) by Anna Bond Published by Puffin Books ISBN: 9798217043408 January 13, 2026
A stunning hardcover edition of the classic gothic romance with cover art by Anna Bond of lifestyle brand Rifle Paper Co. Soon to be a major motion picture starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi! When Heathcliff, a poor young boy, is adopted into wealthy Catherine Earnshaw’s family, he and Catherine form a bond that progresses from childhood friendship to teenage passion. Because of Heathcliff’s lowly social status, however, Catherine decides she cannot marry him, and instead marries the gentleman Edgar Linton. This sets in motion a chain of events that ravages both the Linton and Earnshaw families with jealousy, revenge, and bitterness, leaving only the ghosts of Catherine and Heathcliff to haunt the moors.
After Saturday's interview with Wuthering Heights costume designer Jacqueline Durran in Vogue, Mirror focuses on so-called fans of the novel whining about the so-called 'latex' dress and Durran's explanation.
The Mary Sue lists '15 Films to Watch in 2026 That Are Not Directed By Men', including “Wuthering Heights“ Director: Emerald Fennell Release date: February 13 Emerald Fennell’s “Wuthering Heights” is definitely up to stuff. We just won’t know what exactly until midway into Q1. Your milage may vary with Fennell’s films. Promising Young Woman, Saltburn, and her tenure showrunning the second season of Killing Eve were divisive in their own ways. Personally, I can’t wait to see what she has up her frilly sleeves with this adaptation of Emily Brontë’s tempestuous novel. I need to know what Margot Robbie, Jacob Elordi, Shazad Latif, Hong Chau, and Alison Oliver get into. (Leah Marilla Thomas)
This is a new illustrated French edition of Wuthering Heights:
by Emily Brontë Translated by Jacques de Lacretelle and Yolande de Lacretelle Illustrations by Isabella Mazzanti Gallimard Collection Papillon Noir Gallimard ISBN: 9782073120342 2025
Chef-d’œuvre sauvage et intemporel, Hurlevent, d'Emilie Brontë trouve une nouvelle intensité dans cette édition grâce à l’univers graphique percutant d’Isabella Mazzanti. Roman unique, à la croisée du fantastique et du romantisme noir, ce texte inclassable bouleverse les conventions du XIXᵉ siècle par sa violence émotionnelle, sa narration fragmentée et ses personnages bruts. Sur les landes battues par les vents, dans l’ombre de Hurlevent, se joue une tragédie d’amour et de vengeance entre Catherine et Heathcliff, deux âmes tourmentées, liées par une passion aussi absolue que destructrice. L’illustratrice italienne Isabella Mazzanti, au style baroque et expressionniste, magnifie la noirceur et la beauté du texte avec des compositions puissantes, mêlant onirisme, tension et sensualité.
Here you can check some of the Isabella Mazzanti's illustrations.
