Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy/I've come home to Australia

Several Australian sites are celebrating the fact that Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi will be at the Wuthering Heights opening night in Sydney as announced on this video. From Variety Australia:

To celebrate the opening night of their new film, “Wuthering Heights“, Australian stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi are coming to Sydney.

The actors will appear at the screening going ahead at Sydney’s State Theatre on Thursday, February 12th – the same day as its national cinema release – which will mark the grand finale of a global tour that also sees them head to LA, Paris and London.

“Sydney, we are so thrilled to bring our upcoming film, “Wuthering Heights”, down under this summer,” Elordi said.

Robbie added: “Come on down with us as we crash onto Australian shores. Wild, unrestrained and impossible to resist.”

Producer and Oscar nominee Josey McNamara is also confirmed to attend. (Neil Griffiths)

Wuthering Heights

Emily Brontë's gothic novel gets the Emerald Fennell treatment in this sweeping adaptation starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, with a soundtrack by Charli XCX. This visually stunning take by Saltburn director Emerald follows Cathy (Margot) and Heathcliff (Jacob) from their first meeting as children in the West Yorkshire moors through their intoxicating and tumultuous love affair as adults.

As a huge fan of Wuthering Heights, I'm particularly excited to see Fennell's take on the much-loved classic. While the casting of Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff has sparked controversy, with Brontë's character described as "dark-skinned" and a "lascar" (a colonial term for a sailor or soldier from South Asia) in the novel, there's no doubt the striking Saltburn actor will deliver a compelling performance.

The Yorkshire Post reports that a derelict building in Haworth may be turned into an escape room.

A derelict listed building a short distance from where the Brontë sisters grew up could become an escape room venue.

13-15 Main Street in Haworth is the former Penny Lane craft and gift shop, but has been empty for several years.

Now a new application has been submitted to turn the upper floors of the building into an escape room venue with eight separate rooms. [...]

The ground floor will become a cheese shop that also serves ice cream and coffee.

The building is just a short walk from the Bronte Parsonage and is on the iconic Main Street, one of the district’s most popular tourist destinations.

The planning application and a listed building consent application for the works have now been submitted to Bradford Council by Hayley Smith.

As well as the change of use, the development would also include the construction of a three-storey rear extension and single storey glazed orangery to provide seating.

The planning application says: “The property lies within the Haworth Conservation Area (designated 1971), renowned for its strong historic and architectural character, tightly knit townscape, stepped rooflines and predominant use of natural stone, with notable Brontë associations.

“The site occupies a prominent position on Main Street, the historic spine of the conservation area, characterised by independent shops, cafés and cultural attractions.

“The ground-floor unit will remain in Use Class E and will trade as a cheese shop with ancillary on-premises ice-cream and coffee sales and events ancillary to the shop function; its existing entrance will be retained.

“The rear extension at ground floor will accommodate an accessible WC, additional sales area and storage, and the orangery will serve as a customer seating area ancillary to the shop.

“The building is in very poor condition. The roof is severely compromised, particularly to the rear, with rotten joists and partial collapse.

“The central chimney is cracked and unstable, with visible movement. Internally, several chimney breasts are disused and appear to have undergone modern interventions or alterations using unsympathetic materials such as red brick and engineered stone.”

The venue would be used by a maximum of four groups at any one time, with up to five participants per group.

It would open between 10am and 9.30pm. A decision on the application is expected in March. (Chris Young)
