Margot Robbie Says She Grew 'Codependent' With Jacob Elordi Filming Wuthering Heights

The Valentine’s Day release is promoted as a primal take that the stars say plays as a sweeping romance.

Overview

  • In new Fandango interviews published this week, Jacob Elordi said moments on the English moors made him and Margot Robbie feel “a part of their love, for real” as Heathcliff and Catherine.
  • Robbie said she became “so co‑dependent” with Elordi during production, recalling that she felt “unnerved” when he was not nearby.
  • Elordi described a “mutual obsession” and said he kept within 5 to 10 meters of Robbie on set, with director Emerald Fennell joking she occasionally asked him to step away.
  • The cast said they used the moorland setting and played Kate Bush’s “Wuthering Heights” on location to capture the story’s atmosphere.
  • Warner Bros. is positioning the film as a Valentine’s event opening Feb. 13, with Fennell calling the approach “primal [and] sexual” as Robbie emphasizes it reads more romantic than provocative.
