ScreenRant recommends the '3 Best Movies To Watch On Prime Video This Weekend (October 3-4)' and one of them is
Wuthering Heights (2026)
Over the years, there have been several adaptations of Wuthering Heights, the iconic 1847 novel by Emily Brontë. The latest high-profile release was this 2026 version starring Margot Robbie as Cathy Earnshaw and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff. Directed by Emerald Fennell, the new take on Wuthering Heights is sexy, intense, surprising, and utterly haunting. (Felipe Rangel)
Reviewing the new film adaptation of Sense and Sensibility, a contributor to The Critic says that,
The visual palette was truer to my vision of Austen than could perhaps be expected in the world of Bridgerton and Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights, even if there were a few more stray strands of Elinor’s hair (Daisy Edgar-Jones) than suited her character. (Felice Basbøll)
More films as La Presse (Canada) reviews Verity.
Autrice d’It Ends with Us, de Regretting You et de Reminders of Him, tous trois adaptés à l’écran, la prolifique Colleen Hoover aime traiter de sujets graves sous le couvert de la romance ou du thriller psychologique. C’est dans ce second camp que se situe Verity, thriller domestique où l’on retrouve de (très) faibles échos de Jane Eyre, de Charlotte Brontë, de Rebecca, de Daphné du Maurier, et de Gone Girl, de Gillian Flynn. (Manon Dumais) (Translation)
In fact, an article in The Wrap shows the current soaring popularity of book adaptations, claiming that
The latest adaptation of “Wuthering Heights” won over young women.  When it comes to building a guaranteed hit, a library card just might be the most valuable asset in town. (Christofer Hamilton)
The Observer has an article on Amy Winehouse's personal library, which can be viewed (sort of)
at a flat on Chelsea Embankment in the centre of the capital, where more than 400 of the books the performer owned are on display at the Nicoletta Fiorucci Foundation. Or, nearly; the library, assembled by the artist Alex Margo Arden, comprises volumes of the same age, edition and condition as Winehouse’s ones, though none of them were actually ever in her possession. Arden calls them “parallel objects”. [...]
Most of the volumes are out-of-print paperbacks with glossy, candy bright covers. They have little resale value so Arden struggled to track them down online. There are themes: books about Hollywood (biographies of Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Dean Martin, Alfred Hitchcock); about music (Frank Sinatra, Bob Marley, Peggy Lee); about gangsters (Ronnie Kray); and a few literary choices: Mikhail Bulgakov’s Master and Margarita, Tom Wolfe’s The Bonfire of the Vanities, and Jean Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea.

Islington Tribune features publisher Valerie Brandes.
And as for favourite books that have helped shape her as publisher and would feature on her desert island reading list?
“The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison, Going To Meet The Man, by James Baldwin, Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte,” she adds. (Dan Carrier)
Another contributor to ScreenRant finds echoes of Wuthering Heights in a new graphic novel: The Cutting Garden, written by Darcy Van Poelgeest; art by Erin Connally; letters by Aditya Bidikar.
The perfect combination between Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights and Darcy Van Poelgeest's Little Bird is the perfect read for fans of gothic dramas. Gothic drama thrives on psychological torment bred inside desolate, storm-swept estates. The oppressive interplay between isolated spaces and human madness is vividly captured by the classics born from the English countryside. Set against an untamed Yorkshire landscape that directly mirrors the destructive obsession between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights pursues vindictive cruelty within a haunted family line. Romantic devotion leads to ruin, while familiar domestic walls offer no escape from misery. (Nicolas Ayala)
A contributor to Unherd thinks that 'Jane Eyre could inspire a youth rebellion in China'. A contributor to Notre Dame, Saint Mary’s and Holy Cross's newspaper The Observer discusses 'Control, obsession and desire' in Wuthering Heights.
