TIFF 2011 Buyer’s Club: #16. Andrea Arnold’s Wuthering Heights
Might be the version that doesn’t sit well with fans – but those truly looking for a different variation (this begins with the chosen actor to play Heathcliff) might just get what they’ve asked for. Should go for 7 figures, should be critically lauded and should once again prove that art-house can totally redefine the classics.
#16. Wuthering Heights
The Gist: What would you do if you were denied your soulmate? Written by Olivia Hetreed, this is based on Emily Bronte’s 1847 novel and tells the passionate tale of Heathclith (James Howson) and Cathy (Kaya Scodelario), two teenagers whose elemental love for each other creates a storm of vengeance. This is a startling vision of desire and obsession.
Director: Andrea Arnold (Fish Tank)
Sales Agent: Hanway Films
