Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi feature in the first official poster of Wuthering Heights, and it seemingly pays homage to Victor Fleming’s 1939 classic, Gone with the Wind. The poster sets the stage for what seems like another sweeping psychological drama, starring Robbie and Elordi as the romantic leads. Warner Bros. Pictures shared it on social media, with a quote,
"Come undone."
The studio's latest post also revealed that it will release the first trailer on the same day. It will offer a further look into this Emily Brontë adaptation based on her namesake book, brought to screen by Emerald Fennell. She is the latest filmmaker to bring Brontë's novel to life with a more recent adaptation directed by Andrea Arnold.
As said before, the first poster for Wuthering Heights feels like a nod to Fleming's 1939 film, with Robbie and Elordi substituting for Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable. It shows Elorid as Heathcliff holding Robbie as Catherine Earnshaw in his arms, as their faces are lit up as they used to be during the golden age of Hollywood.
The two embrace each other in what feels like a critical moment in their deeply intimate journey. The poster makes their bond seem even more passionate by placing them in front of a distant, leafless tree in the middle of fog, while the font offers a nod to the story's gothic origins and a phrase ("Come Undone") borrowed from the Brontës' novel.
What else do we know about Emerald Fennell's adaptation of Wuthering Heights?
Warner Bros. Pictures won the bid to bring Saltburn director Emerald Fennell's reimagining of Wuthering Heights to the big screens. Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi were cast in the film shortly before, with them receiving backlash for different reasons. It mainly stemmed from the fact that Emily Brontë's novel referred to Heathcliff as a dark-skinned person.
That's why fans of the classic novel criticized Elordi's casting, which doesn't align with the known interpretation of Heathcliff being ethnically ambiguous. On the other hand, some fans were not satisfied with Robbie being cast as Catherine and took objection to her age being older than what's been described, as per The Guardian.
So, the film's casting director offered her perspective on this matter in April 2025 during her appearance at Scotland's Sands Film Festival. Per Deadline, here's what she said,
“There was one Instagram comment that said the casting director should be shot. But just wait till you see it, and then you can decide whether you want to shoot me or not. But you really don’t need to be accurate. It’s just a book. That is not based on real life. It’s all art.”
Later on, the film started making headlines based on the updates from its early test screenings in August 2025. Words of Reel reported some of the polarizing reactions, which highlighted "hyper-sexualized imagery" in the film, while calling it "purposefully discomforting." Others praised the chemistry between Robbie and Elordi and their "committed performances."
It remains to be seen how Wuthering Heights will be received by the novel's fans when it arrives in theaters on the next Valentine's Day. Until then, they can catch the film's trailer, slated to be out today, September 3.
