'"Wuthering Heights"' trivia and fun facts
VistaVision
The fourth film of the 21st century shot mostly in VistaVision, after The Brutalist (2024), Una batalla tras otra (2025), and Bugonia (2025).
Warner Brothers.
"The project started a bidding war prior to production, with many rival studios wanting to acquire the picture. Warner Brothers won out in the end, partly due to their commitment to a theatrical release for the film".
Luca Guadagnino
Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi previously starred in Luca Guadagnino's short film Chanel N°5: See You at 5 (2024), made for the Chanel No. 5 fragrance campaign in 2024, though they didn't share the screen in that project.
Jacob Elordi
When the cast was announced, many were disappointed with Jacob Elordi's casting, claiming that Heathcliff is not white in the novel. Many also felt it was even more disappointing after the last adaptation, Cumbres borrascosas (2011), had portrayed Heathcliff as non-white in the movie - played by men of color. However, Emily Brontë's novel remains vague of Heathcliff's ancestry, describing him alternately as a "dark-skinned gipsy (sic)" with "black eyes", and "as white as the wall behind him" and even "pale". Some characters hint at a possible Mediterranean or (Latin) American heritage. Although Elordi is from Australia, his paternal family comes from the Basque region in Spain.
Saltburn
Alison Oliver and Jacob Elordi played siblings in Fennell's previous feature, Saltburn (2023).
