There's a bunch of news concerning Wuthering Heights today. Most of them are pretty - erm - confused and/or confusing.

First of all, Travel Daily News takes for granted that there's a new version of Wutherign Heights on its way. They don't specifically mention Angelina Jolie or Johnny Depp but surely that's the one they have in mind, isn't it? In any case, they "seem" to know more than we do.

A major new film to be released in the next couple of years is Wuthering Heights, based on an Emily Bronte novel and set in Yorkshire, northern England. The filming venue has yet to be confirmed.

Then Cinema Blend tries and reviews the new Pride and Prejudice with this gem of an introduction:

Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is one of those novels, like Les Miserables or Frankenstein, that has been made into a movie about a gazillion times. I have managed to avoid all versions including the novel up to now as I'm not big on romantic stories. I subjected myself once to one of the many versions of Wuthering Heights and came away with a hardcore loathing of the characters and writer Emily Bronte. I think I unconciously lumped Ms. Austen in with Ms. Bronte and avoided anything attached to their names, however, I've bitten the bullet and watched this new version of Ms. Austen's popular story and I have to admit, my prejudices were unwarranted.

If you manage to untie all those knots and find out what the message behind all those words actually is - please, let us know. Though we fear it's pretty empty anyway.

And, of course, what's a day without the fashion world?

And leave it to the established hands to deliver the most covetable collections. For Izzy Camilleri, black was a gothic-meets-Star Trek fantasy. At Joeffer Caoc, the fashionable non-colour was a touch Wuthering Heights, that is if Natalie Portman was dressing for her Heathcliff. And at Comrags, Judy Cornish and Joyce Gunhouse offered up a stellar lineup that played on black's iconic fashion history, but with a little British spirit.

Again, call us thick, but if you make sens of what's what, leave a comment :P
