Not sure if anyone has heard of this new film or whether it is out yet but from clips I have seen and from what I have read it sounds utterly dreadful. Is like a soft porn version of Wuthering Heights with a bit of BDSM. On BBC this morning they are bigging it up.
Will certainly give it a miss.

Where can you watch the Tom Hardy version?
BTW he did meet his wife /partner while filming it

ITV X. They met but didn't get together till a year or two later.

Glad that out of those who saw the film there were positive experiences.
Won’t feel tempted though. Am waiting for an audio book to arrive.

It's on BBC Sounds narrated by Susan Jameson. Also on The Read, also BBC or at least it was a couple of years ago.

Went to see the latest Wuthering Heights film last night. I loved it all. Not my favourite book but Heathcliffe has always been, to me, a fascinating character. There are no people who are "goodies" in either the book or film, every person has a really nasty streak. Jacob Elordi is really good and his Northern accent is flawless. It isn't filmed as totally true to the book but very few film/tv adaptations are. Will certainly watch it again when it appears on Netflix ( or whichever). Oh Martin Clunes as Cathy's father, needs a mention too, shudder shock

Haven’t seen it yet but find the casting of Martin Clunes really interesting.

Not actually about the film but I read the other day that Patrick Brontë had sent a letter somewhere saying that people should dress their children in silk or wool because he had buried so many children whose clothes had caught fire because they were wearing cotton. I googled it last night and it’s true: cotton is highly flammable and wool and silk virtually inflammable. I guess not many people could afford silk, though sad.

Little late to the party but saw WH last night and loved it.

Definitely a little weird in parts but JE’s Heathcliffe is just how I have always pictured him in my mind’s eye. MR miscast in my opinion but didn’t ruin the film. Some sex but nothing graphic and real passion between the besotted pair.
