Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi are slated to star in Emerald Fennell’s upcoming film Wuthering Heights, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The film is an adaptation of Emily Brontë’s book of the same name. The film is currently in pre-production and set to start shooting in the United Kingdom next year. Robbie will play Catherine Earnshaw, the main female protagonist of the novel. Elordi will portray Heathcliff, the Earnshaws’ foster son.

MRC and LuckyChap Entertainment are producing the film along with Fennell, who will also be writing. Margot Robbie, Tom Ackerley, and Josey McNamara founded the production company LuckyChap Entertainment. Among the films LuckyChap has produced are I, Tonya and Barbie, both of which have won an Academy Award and star Margot Robbie.

Fennell announced her intention to make a Wuthering Heights adaptation in July through a social media graphic. The Wuthering Heights adaptation will be Fennell’s third film with LuckyChap Entertainment. Fennell has previously directed LuckyChap Entertainment-produced films, Promising Young Woman and last year’s Saltburn. Fennell’s social media sensation Saltburn saw Elordi as one of the main actors. Elordi gained recognition for starring as Nate Jacobs in the teen drama Euphoria and as Elvis Presley in Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla. Elordi will appear in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, which is filming now.

Robbie is an actress and producer most known for her titular roles in last summer’s box office hit Barbie. Barbie was the highest-grossing film of 2023. Additionally, Robbie earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress for I, Tonya. Robbie will be appearing in Kogonada’s A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, releasing May 2025.

Filmmakers have adapted Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights into film multiple times in various languages. Famously, the Academy nominated the 1939’s Wuthering Heights for Best Picture. Most recently, in 2011, the book was adapted into a film starring Kaya Scodelario.

A new monster is about to rise. Guillermo del Toro will soon adapt Mary Shelley’s classic tale, Frankenstein, for Netflix, and the streamer has revealed the movie will have quite a star-studded cast. Although early reports indicated that Andrew Garfield would star in the movie as Frankenstein’s monster, it is instead Jacob Elordi who will take on the role. Garfield, it seems, had to depart from the film due to scheduling conflicts. Elordi, meanwhile, recently played a certain kind of monster in Saltburn. But we feel like we’ll see a whole new side of him once Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein arrives on Netflix.

The Cast of Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein

In addition to sharing news that Elordi joined the movie, Netflix also confirmed the full cast of Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein. First up in the casting line-up, there’s Oscar Isaac, who will play the nefarious Doctor Victor Frankenstein himself. Additionally, Christoph Waltz, scream queen Mia Goth, and Felix Kammerer have all come aboard the film. Per Deadline, Lars Mikkelsen, David Bradley, and Christian Convery will also star.

Honestly, we can’t wait to see this film draw its first breaths. Whether this is a modern adaptation of the movie, a period piece, or anything in between, we’ll take it. A cast this good, combined with del Toro’s vision, will surely bring us something absolutely stunning. We only hope Frankenstein remembers the very queer roots of its story as it comes to life… And then delivers on them in full.

When Will Frankenstein Release on Netflix?

As of now, Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein does not have a specific release date set for its Netflix debut. Netflix only shares that it’s “coming soon.” So hopefully, we’ll learn more about when to expect the movie without too much delay. It’s early days, but we’re already itching to see its aesthetic brilliance take shape.
