Director Emerald Fennell has been one to stir the pot in recent years, especially thanks to her 2023 movie Saltburn getting people talking about bathwater. Her next movie isn’t stopping the controversy there. The filmmaker is making one of the biggest upcoming book adaptations on the 2026 movie release schedule with a new iteration of Wuthering Heights. But now that the trailer is here, fans of the book are livid.
The first Wuthering Heights trailer dropped on YouTube earlier this week, and it has already been viewed over six million times. A lot of the talk about the movie so far is how much different it looks from the source material by Emily Brontë. Fans of the novel are most-notably calling the version “whitewashing”.
