Wuthering Heights has been one of the most adapted novels for both the big screen and television over the years and it has been reimagined once again.
An adaptation of the much loved Emily Bronte novel is the latest project for filmmaker Andrea Arnold, this will be her first movie since Fish Tank back in 2009.
Kaya Scodelario and James Howson take on the iconic roles of Cathy and Heathcliff - with performances that look set to grab some attention.
The movie has already been met well on the festival circuit, playing in Venice and Toronto over the last couple of weeks.
In a remote farmhouse on Yorkshire’s nineteenth-century moors, Mr. Earnshaw brings home a wary biracial boy, whom he names Heathcliff.
Adopted into the family under Christian values, Heathcliff’s new presence is met with mixed feelings. Hindley, Earnshaw’s teenaged son, treats him with contempt, while Catherine, Hindley’s younger sister, embraces the outsider with curious warmth.
An intense relationship begins to form between Heathcliff and Catherine as they play on the moor. Their pleasant days are brought to an abrupt end, however, with Mr. Earnshaw’s death.
Hindley takes control of the farm and drives Heathcliff away. Edgar, the son of a wealthy neighbouring family, courts Catherine in marriage. Torn between love and reason, Catherine’s decision sets the three of them on a tragic course.
Wuthering Heights is released 11th November.
