Emerald Fennell teasing her film adaptation Wuthering heightWhat attracted significant attention after the release of the trailer.
The director turned to why she played Margo Robbie And Jacob Elordi Cast and why she decided to adapt the classic book.
“I wanted to do something, which made me feel how I felt when I first read it, which means that this is an emotional answer to something. This is, as primary, sexy, ”she said, according to Bi -bi -xField
By directing the adaptation, Fennell said that “she wanted to do something, which was the book that I experienced when I was 14 years old.”
“I was obsessed. I was crazy about this book, ”she said. “And, of course, now I even rush than I was before, because I thought that even more for two years.”
The trailer received a lot of attention from the very erotic scenes, saying: “There is a huge amount of sadomasochism in this book. There is a reason why people were deeply shocked by him [when it was published].
“It was a kind of masochistic exercise working on this, because I really love him, and it cannot love me, and I must live with it. So it was anxious, but I think it is really useful, ”she added.
Fennell admitted that it was a “huge responsibility” that adapts the book, adding: “I know that if anyone else does it, I would be furious. This is a very personal material for everyone. This is very illegal. The way we relate to the characters is very personal, I think. “
The director also received a rollback for Castin Barbie Star and Soltyburn A star in leading roles, since they do not reflect the characters described in the book. Katherine Ernshaw was a teenager in the book, while the author of Hitcliff is described as “dark -skinned”.
Fennell said that she asked Elordi to play a role on the set Soltyburn How he “looked just like the Hitcliff's illustration in the first book that I read.”
“And it was so terrible because I wanted to scream. Not what needs to be done is obvious, ”she said. “I thought about creating [Wuthering Heights]And it seemed to me that he had a thing … He is a very amazing actor. ”
Having reviewed Robbie, Fennell said that she “didn’t look like anyone, who I met -when I met -when you have -and I think that this was what I felt in Katie”, adding that she was “so beautiful, interesting and amazing, and she is one of those people who, like Katie, could get away with it.”
“I think that, frankly, she could commit murder, and no one objects. And this is exactly what Katie is for me. Katie is the one who just seeks to see how far she can go, ”Fennell continued. “So he needed someone like Margo, who is a star, and not just an incredible actress whom she is, but someone, who has power, otherworldly power, God -like power, which means that people lose their opinion.”
Wuthering height It opens in cinemas on February 14, 2026.
