The project would mark the third collaboration between Fennell and LuckyChap, which produced <em><strong>Saltburn<\/strong> <\/em>and <em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt9620292\/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_promising%2520\">Promising Young Woman<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em> The latter film won Fennell an Academy Award for best original screenplay.<br \/><br \/>Shooting of <em><strong>Wuthering Heights<\/strong><\/em> will start in the UK in 2025, with Robbie starring in the role of Catherine Earnshaw and Elordi playing Heathcliff. Bront\u00eb\u2019s original novel, published in 1850, depicted the travails of the Earnshaw and Linton families and their relationship with Heathcliff, the foster son of the Earnshaws. The choice of Elordi, a white Australian actor, has been controversial because Heathcliff is described in the novel as dark-skinned.<br \/><br \/>Robbie was most recently seen as the star and producer of the <em><strong>Barbie<\/strong> <\/em>blockbuster, which grossed $1.4 billion globally and garnered eight Oscar nominations, including one for best picture. She will next appear in Kogonada\u2019s <strong><em>A Big Bold Beautiful Journey,<\/em> <\/strong>to be released next year.<br \/><br \/>Elordi starred in Fennell\u2019s <strong><em>Saltburn<\/em> <\/strong>and played the role of Elvis Presley in Sofia Coppola\u2019s <strong><em>Priscilla<\/em><\/strong>, which debuted in 2023. He\u2019s also about to star in Daniel Minahan\u2019s <em><strong>On Swift Horses<\/strong><\/em> and in a remake of <em><strong>Frankenstein<\/strong> <\/em>as directed by Guillermo del Toro. <br \/><br \/>In an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2024\/film\/features\/margot-robbie-luckychap-barbie-saltburn-shocks-being-original-1235858528\/\"><em>Variety<\/em> <\/a>in January of this year, Robbie paid tribute to Fennell\u2019s directorial skills in <em><strong>Saltburn<\/strong> <\/em>by saying: \u201cEmerald immerses you into a world so quickly. She\u2019s so masterful at tone and plot\u2026She gets in your brain and she kind of taps into the most depraved parts of it, so that you\u2019re complicit in the story.
