Many have taken to social media to express their ire with the choice to use two stars who 'look like they belong on Instagram' in a film set in England during the 1800s.
Fans have hit out at Emerald's planned adaptation of the classic English novel. READ MORE:Wuthering Heights fans have slammed Emerald Fennell's upcoming adaptation of the classic, hitting out at her 'weird' and 'terrible' casting of Margot Robbie as Catherine Earnshaw and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff - and claiming that the director has 'not read' the Emily Brontë novel.
'Guys I can ONLY assume that Emerald Fennell isn't actually adapting Wuthering Heights, she's just using it as inspiration and it's loosely based on and the only similarities are the characters' names and it's set in this time period and it's a different story entirely right?' one joked. Margot's LuckyChap company is on board to produce the film. LuckyChap also produced two of Emerald's other movies: Saltburn and Promising Young Woman.No plot details have yet been revealed.
News that Margot and Jacob are set to play the lead roles in Emerald's adaptation was revealed today by Deadline 'Even though the whole point of our film is that we cross paths and miss each other, it still felt like we did the campaign together.'The original story centers around the Earnshaws, the Lintons, and their turbulent relationship with Heathcliff, an adopted son of the Earnshaws.
