Emerald Fennell Promises ‘Wuthering Heights’ Will Echo the Dark Allure of ‘Twilight’—But How Far Will She Go?

Would you trust your beloved teenage vampire romance to the hands of the director who gave us soul-crushing brooding on the moors? Neither would I… but here we are, witnessing Emerald Fennell—the reigning queen of dark drama—taking the reins of Twilight with a straight face and (gasp!) apparent reverence. Surely, this is what Emily Brontë would’ve wanted—Bella Swan gazing wistfully across the Yorkshire moors, undead lover in tow, all while clutching her hardcover novel like a security blanket! If you think Laurence Olivier’s turn as Edward was the peak of romantic vampirism, stick around. With Jacob Elordi brooding and Margot Robbie sparkling in ways even SEO experts can’t optimize, I’m craning my neck to see just how gloriously off the rails this adaptation might go . It raises the burning question: Are we witnessing cinematic genius—or just a bite-sized catastrophe in the making? Either way, I simply can’t look away . LEARN MORE.

LONDON—Promising a “dark, brooding romance,” Wuthering Heights director Emerald Fennell assured fans Thursday that her new movie would be a faithful adaptation of Twilight. “When you take on a classic, people are understandably going to have strong feelings, but trust me on this—you’re going to love it,” said Fennell, who stressed that the upcoming film was practically a “scene by scene” adaptation of the supernatural-fantasy novel written in 2005. “The respect I have for Twilight is tremendous. In fact, I gave hardcover copies of it to the entire cast. I can’t wait for the world to finally see this film. The performances of Jacob [Elordi] and Margot [Robbie] as Edward and Bella are going to blow everyone away!” Reacting to the news, many fans insisted Fennell would never be able to top the Twilight adaptation that starred Laurence Olivier.
