"Ugh"

Wuthering Heights 2026 is listed as one of the films of the year in Teletica, Forbes, Hello!, The Happening, La Repubblica, Deadline, Esquire, AARP or IndieWire:

Following in the footsteps of William Wyler, Andrea Arnold, and numerous other filmmakers, “Promising Young Woman” breakout Emerald Fennell tries her hand at adapting Emily Brontë’s classic 1847 novel about sadomasochistic obsession. The new “Wuthering Heights” stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as Cathy and Heathcliff, in a rendition described as “this generation’s ‘Titanic’” by the filmmaker and female lead, who’s also an executive producer. Although the idea of adapting Brontë’s story into a romantic spectacle hasn’t won over bibliophiles in the run-up to its release, the film is sure to attract quite a crowd when it comes out on Valentine’s Day weekend thanks to its glamorous stars, striking visuals, and cleverly enraging marketing campaign.

Russh and Esquire anticipate Charli XCX's soundtrack.

Filmmaker Emerald Fennell sent Ms. XCX a copy of the script to her adaptation of Emily Brontë’s novel, hoping she might contribute a song. Charli responded that she’d like to take a shot at a full album/score. “I wanted to dive into persona, into a world that felt undeniably raw, wild, sexual, gothic, British, tortured, and full of actual real sentences, punctuation and grammar,” she wrote on Substack. “I was fucking IN.” Her primary collaborator for the unlikely follow-up to Brat was producer/songwriter Easyfun, and they were inspired by a quote from John Cale saying that the main rule for Velvet Underground songs was to be “elegant and brutal”—so much so that they enlisted Cale for the first single from Wuthering Heights, the foreboding “House.” (Alan Light)

W Magazine interviews Jacob Elordi:

Lynn Hirschberg: Did you have trouble shaking the role after you finished filming?

J.E.: The body design and the feeling that I had was so specific for about six months. Getting back into the world is always a task when you’ve been living in a circus state for so long. When I was shooting Wuthering Heights, there was a scene where my response to something was “Ugh,” which was from Frankenstein. It did take me a while to realize that I shouldn’t just gesture at things and grunt.

We read in The Telegraph & Argus this enigmatic statement by Sabir Hussain (aka Saby Kahn):

Saby said: "I’m preparing filming for short horror movie to be set in Haworth based around the Brontë sisters. " (Daryl Ames)

GB News recommends a staycation in Haworth:

Haworth, West Yorkshire

The last recommendation is a historical village in the north of England. The travel expert added: “Finally, Haworth, located in West Yorkshire, is my sixth recommendation for anyone seeking a quiet, cosy start to 2026. Best known for being the home of the Brontë sisters, the village and surrounding moorlands are incredibly atmospheric at this time of year.

"Here, people can explore the cobbled, Victorian streets or plan a visit to the Brontë Parsonage Museum, before warming up in one of Haworth’s traditional pubs after a crisp winter walk. There’s plenty to keep you occupied in this cosy village, without the usual busyness that comes with more well-known cities, such as London.“
