Audiences are left shocked by Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi's 'aggressively provocative' Wuthering Heights movie with 'BDSM sex scene
UK Daily Mail ^ | August 8, 2025 | Sean O'Grady

Emerald Fennell's upcoming Wuthering Heights adaptation has been called 'aggressively provocative' and will feature a BDSM-inspired sex scene.

The upcoming adaptation of Emily Bronte's classic novel sees Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi portray doomed lovers Catherine and Heathcliff.

But those expecting a faithful adaptation of the beloved work may be in for a rude awakening as Fennell's upcoming film is said to lean into the 'stylised depravity' she has become known for after directing Saltburn.

I loved the book.

Didn’t know there’s a song. Will have to check it out.

"that song was only popular because..."

Also because Kate Bush was pretty HOT looking back then. (I know, so crass...)

Hollywood is dumb. They are selecting a 57 year old Jesus for Mel Gibson movie. Nothing is sacred in Hollywood. It’s atrocious!

Kate Bush has an amazing vocal range. She's also a bit of a performance artist, so this would be the optimal way to listen:

"Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights - Official Music Video - Version 2"

She’s too old and worldly looking.

The story is just an excuse for them to make a raunchy movie.

I never saw 50 Shades of Grey. I just remember hearing that it was supposed to be about a woman being sexually tortured and learning to like it.

Democrats when 50 Shades came out: Christians should quit being such sticks in the mud. Some people like being sexually tortured. Expand your horizons!

Democrats a few years later: #MeToo!!!! How dare men prey on women, even if she says she's willing!

Basically it’s just a “The Postman Always Rings Twice” redux.

I tried to make “Margot Robbie stupid whore” the #1 drop-down choice on google by searching for that every day but eventually gave up.

It might still happen if everybody joins in.

Actually the libs mostly hate 50 Shades. It’s built on the kind of rape fantasy stuff (she was unwilling to do the... things... but then learned to like it) the womens has hated for decades.

The feature opens with a public hanging that sees the condemned man 'ejaculate mid-execution'.

Hard pass.

The function of the production is to convey a political message

The producer should be drawn and quartered for such a travesty.

True, after a while the libs hated 50 Shades. That was after they read the tea leaves and realized it was fashionable to hate on 50 Shades.

But for a while they promoted the movie. Like this: 5 Things to Do While You’re Waiting for 50 Shades of Grey to Come Out, and 4 Ways Fifty Shades is a ripped-off version of Secretary. Their knee-jerk reaction was anything sex, even BDSM, was cool. Perhaps because the Christians were so against it.

It’s Regietheater. Taken from East German directors in the 1960’s, it pushes social activism of what the director wants (smut) and destroys the message of classical literature, theater, et al. Heather MacDonald’s “The Abduction of Opera” is a must read regarding the issue.

Regietheater has destroyed so many great works.
