🎥 “Wuthering Heights” Teaser Trailer: Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi Burn with Passion and Revenge in Emerald Fennell’s Upcoming Film Adaptation of Emily Brontë’s Classic Gothic Romance — In Theaters Valentine’s Day, February 13th, 2026
One theory behind Emily Brontë’s 1847 Gothic romance novel Wuthering Heights is that she had no prior experience with love. The idea stems from the fact that her writing feels so wildly expressive and unrestrained that it suggests she may have been creating entirely from her imagination rather than drawing on personal experience. Emily was also famously reclusive, living mostly in the shadows of her equally talented sisters—Charlotte, author of Jane Eyre, and Anne, author of Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.
Whatever the case, whether drawn from real joys and heartbreaks or purely from her yearnings and desires, Emily Brontë created a work that has stood the test of time. Though not greatly appreciated by critics at the time of its publication—many considered the story too vulgar and tasteless—the book is now regarded as one of the great achievements of English literature. It would also remain her only novel, as Emily tragically passed away just a year after its release. In fact, her famous sisters would soon follow, their own lives also cut short by illness and tuberculosis.
Now, normally, film and TV adaptations of Wuthering Heights have followed the path of most English costume period productions: esteemed stage actors, puffy shirts and collars, long flowing wigs, and the familiar silhouette of a couple caressing each other against sweeping countryside greenery. You know, the same old boring shit! Well, wait until you get a load of this new feature adaptation, which feels like it’s been ripped straight from the covers of a steamy erotic paperback novel—the kind you keep tucked away on the bedroom nightstand.
Academy Award-winning filmmaker Emerald Fennell reunites with actress Margot Robbie, who previously produced Fennell’s films Promising Young Woman and Saltburn. This time, however, marks the first occasion Robbie will be acting under Fennell’s direction.
Fennell brings her trademark visual flair and a touch of sultry naughtiness to Emily Brontë’s classic Gothic novel. And if critics thought the book was too coarse and immoral back then, well... we imagine their jaws will be permanently on the floor this time around. After all, this is the same director who made it impossible for us to ever look at bathwater the same way again after Saltburn.
Speaking of which, Jacob Elordi is once again called back into action to work with Fennell—this time playing Heathcliff, the strapping and brooding orphan taken in at the remote Yorkshire estate of Wuthering Heights, where he soon forms a lifelong obsession with Catherine Earnshaw (played by Robbie), the daughter of the house.
Heathcliff and Catherine share an undeniable passion for each other, despite their class discrepancies. But when Catherine chooses to marry another man for social status rather than follow her heart, the devastated Heathcliff disappears—only to return years later as a wealthy gentleman consumed by a calculated desire for revenge.
In addition to Robbie and Elordi, the cast also includes Oscar nominee Hong Chau (The Whale), Shazad Latif (Star Trek: Discovery), Alison Oliver (Saltburn), Ewan Mitchell (House of the Dragon), and BAFTA winner Martin Clunes.
Adapted and directed by Fennell, Wuthering Heights is set to storm into theaters nationwide on Valentine’s Day, February 13, 2026. Because nothing says a fun movie date like watching a couple tear each other apart in the name of love.
🎥 “A House of Dynamite” Teaser Trailer: Rebecca Ferguson, Jason Clarke and Idris Elba Lead Kathryn Bigelow’s Nuclear Crisis Thriller — In Theaters October 10th, Streaming October 24th on Netflix
Welcome back, Kathryn Bigelow!
The Academy Award-winning director of The Hurt Locker hasn’t helmed a feature film in nearly eight years. Her last outing was 2017’s Detroit, a multi-layered, hard-hitting account of the 1967 12th Street Riot, told through the intersecting perspectives of several characters—each experiencing the same traumatic event in drastically different ways.
One could say Bigelow is taking a similar approach with her latest film, A House of Dynamite, a tense political thriller built around one chilling question: what happens when a nuclear missile is launched at U.S. soil—and no one knows who fired it? And like many of Bigelow’s previous works, tension is the glue that holds everything together, not only driving the story forward but likely keeping audiences locked in from the first frame to the last.
Having just premiered at the Venice International Film Festival to mostly glowing reviews, the Netflix original political thriller unfolds in real time as the U.S. government races against the clock to determine whether the mysterious strike signals the beginning of war—or the ultimate bluff. With paranoia surging and tensions boiling over, the question isn’t just how to respond, but whether the truth will surface in time to prevent catastrophe.
The film boasts an all-star ensemble as top officials scramble to trace the source of what could ignite global annihilation: Rebecca Ferguson as Captain Olivia Walker, a communications officer; Jason Clarke as Admiral Mark Miller, the senior Situation Room official; Tracy Letts as General Anthony Brody; Jared Harris as Secretary of Defense Reid Baker; Gabriel Basso as Deputy National Security Advisor Jake Baerington; and Anthony Ramos as Major Daniel Gonzalez, commander of a key military base.
Idris Elba takes on the role of the President of the United States, with Renée Elise Goldsberry as the First Lady.
Rounding out the cast are Willa Fitzgerald, Kaitlyn Dever, Moses Ingram, Jonah Hauer-King, Greta Lee, Kyle Allen, Brittany O’Grady, Brian Tee, Gbenga Akinnagbe, Francesca Carpanini, and more.
The screenplay comes from Noah Oppenheim (Jackie), who, interestingly, once served as a senior producer on NBC’s Today Show (2015) before briefly becoming president of NBC News in 2017. He later stepped down amid the fallout of the Harvey Weinstein and Matt Lauer scandals. More recently, Oppenheim co-created the Netflix limited series Zero Day, starring Robert De Niro as a former U.S. president tasked with investigating a nationwide cyberattack. The series was said to draw inspiration from Oppenheim’s insider knowledge of government operations gained during his years in the news business.
A House of Dynamite is set to land in select theaters October 10th before streaming globally on Netflix starting October 24th.
