“We are thrilled to partner with MRC, Emerald Fennell, and LuckyChap for this feature film adaptation of Wuthering Heights,” said Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group’s Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy in a statement. “From the moment we were introduced to Emerald’s vision for the film, and with an incredible cast led by Margot and Jacob, we were instantly committed to forging a partnership with this team to ensure the movie was brought to theaters around the world.”

MRC is financing the project, with LuckyChap, the banner run by Robbie, Tom Ackerley and Josey McNamara and is based at Warners, producing. Fennell wrote the script and will direct and also produce.

Adapting the celebrated novel by Emily Brontë, the package sees  Robbie playing Catherine Earnshaw, while Elordi will portray Heathcliff. First published in 1847, the book centers on the tempestuous relationship between Catherine and Heathcliff that encompasses passion and revenge after they meet while living at the eponymous residence.

“From our first conversations with Emerald about Wuthering Heights, we were inspired by her vision to make something that channels the longing and heartache of the novel while adding her distinctive sensibility and beautiful aesthetic,” MRC executives Brye Adler and Jonathan Golfman enthused. “We are thrilled to partner with Warner Brothers and our friends at LuckyChap to help bring Emerald’s film to audiences around the world.”
