Like stepping into a film set

Irish Independent features Carys D Coburn's cultural life and as to books:

My friends joke that every writer is a mean girl or a pervert. Jane Austen – mean girl. Emily Bronte – pervert. (Lucy White)

À la Emerald Fennell, then.

Lifestyle Asia wonders, 'Do We Need More “iPhone Face” Period Dramas?'

To contextualize, what prompted this article was the release of the first trailer for Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights (or, as I like to call it, 50 Shades of Heathcliff). As expected, the video sparked another round of online debates about period dramas, specifically the ways adaptations twist their source materials. This reminded me of the disaster that was 2022’s Persuasion (more on that later) and got me thinking about the new wave of Austen remakes on the horizon.

I don’t mean to be a snob; I’ll still watch Wuthering Heights in theaters to see Fennell’s full vision before casting my final unsolicited opinion. She did, after all, put quotation marks around the title: a subtle visual cue that the film doesn’t intend to be faithful to Emily Brontë’s seminal work. And does that little detail even matter? Well, yes—because it invariably shapes expectations that shift how fans of the original material and non-readers alike judge the quality of an adaptation. (Pilar Gonzalez)

According to Daily Mail, visiting Haworth 'feels like stepping into a film set'.

With cobbled streets and old, characterful stone buildings, there's a Yorkshire village that feels just like stepping into a film set. 

Haworth has a rich history and draws in thousands of visitors a year. 

Its links to the Brontë sisters, who grew up in Haworth Parsonage in the 19th century, only add to the village's charm. (Alesia Fiddler)
