Literotica: Sensual Images Abound in Trailer for Emerald Fennell’s Adaptation of ‘Wuthering Heights’
No Masterpiece Theater adaptation of Wuthering Heights ever showed so much food porn as we see in the new trailer for Emerald Fennell’s take on the classic lit novel.
To be fair, the sensual is emphasized in many recent adaptations of Emily Brontë’s 1847 tale of forbidden romance and destructive desire, but the emphasis seen in the trailer on provocative food items – egg yolks, bread dough, and fish mouths – is a novel twist.
Wuthering Heights tells the story of a dysfunctional and doomed relationship between Catherine, daughter of the landed gentry, and Heathcliff, a troubled orphan that Cathy’s family is fostering, all set against the wind-swept moors of Yorkshire in Northern England.
As her star-crossed lovers, Fennell cast Margot Robbie as Catherine and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff and from the trailer, it’s apparent that there is mutual lust, if not love, between the two. In addition to the dishy dishes, the human body is well-represented in the clip: oiled-up pecs, heaving bosoms in corsets, and then released from corsets, fingers in mouths, and even more bosoms seen over a soundtrack of an original Charli XCX song and plenty of sighs and heavy breathing.

Elordi also starred in Fennell’s hit Saltburn, which was a hit when it aired on Amazon Prime. Elordi, who will appear as the title character’s monster in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, was a controversial casting choice as the actor deviates from the character’s description as a “dark-skinned gypsy,” though the character’s race or ethnicity is never stated. Past actors in the role include Tom Hardy, Timothy Dalton, and Sir Laurence Olivier.
Robbie’s casting was also controversial as at 35, the actress is considerably older than her character is written to be.
Netflix offered Fennell $150 million for the first-run streaming rights to Heights, but Fennell sold the distribution rights to Warner Bros. for only $80 million to secure a theatrical release.
Hong Chau, Shazad Latif, Alison Oliver, Martin Clunes, Owen Cooper, and Ewan Mitchell also star in the film, which Fennell wrote and produced with Robbie and Josey McNamara.

Wuthering Heights and its buffet of sensual delights hits theaters on February 13th, 2026.
