So many thoughts are swirling about the little bits we’ve gotten so far for Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights adaptation, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi (remember those early photos of Robbie’s possibly anachronistic wedding dress?). But now, we finally have something more substantial: a 90-second teaser trailer.
Here’s every single thought I had while watching it:
Am I the only one who involuntarily starts belting out Kate Bush’s “Wuthering Heights” at full volume in my head whenever this movie comes up?
HEATHCLIFF! IT’S MEEEE, I’M KATHYYY, I’VE COME HOME!
Okay, sorry. I’m done. For now.
I have to admit—I watched a full 10 seconds of what turned out to be a fan edit, thinking it was the real trailer. But now we’re back on track.
Margot, please drop your blush recommendation—your cheeks are glowing!
I will never get tired of slow, intense shots of hands kneading bread.
Especially when it’s set to Charli XCX’s “Everything is romantic”!
This might be the best use of Charli XCX’s music in recent memory—and yes, I’m including Kamala Harris’s 2024 presidential campaign in that.
Jacob Elordi’s wig stylist deserves an award.
His mutton-chop stylist, on the other hand… maybe not.
OMG, that pop of red cloak!
You know it’s an Emerald Fennell film when someone is crawling sexily.
“Do you want me to stop?” “No.”
Oh honey, I am so here for this.
My coworker (who shall remain nameless) said, “This looks way better than I expected.” Same.
It’s going to be a Fennell Fall, I’m afraid!
Well, actually, the movie comes out on Valentine’s Day 2026, so maybe “Emerald Winter” sounds better.
To quote Tina Fey on Las Culturistas: “Then Act Three takes a sexually violent turn, and you have to pretend to be surprised by that turn!”
Emerald, my shining gem, I promise to act forever surprised by that turn.
Is anyone really shocked that I’m dangerously excited for this movie? I even stanned Promising Young Woman, for goodness’ sake!
