Overview
- New footage presents a darker, more erotic tone, with marketing positioning the story as a love affair consumed by fixation and ruin.
- Margot Robbie stars as Catherine and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff, joined by Hong Chau, Alison Oliver, Owen Cooper, Shazad Latif and Martin Clunes.
- Reaction is split, with social posts and fresh commentary questioning fidelity to Brontë and alleging white‑washing of Heathcliff’s racial ambiguity.
- Fennell’s recent foreword and interviews frame the film as a primal, sado‑masochistic, fever‑dream response rather than a literal retelling.
- Charli XCX provides original music for the film, and the trailer features her new track “Chains of Love.”
