Charli XCX to Provide Soundtrack for Erotic ‘Wuthering Heights‘ Remake starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi
A new trailer for the upcoming reimagining of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights has dropped, revealing a distinctly sensual tone and a soundtrack featuring music by Charli XCX. the film, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, sparked a fierce bidding war before landing at Warner Bros. with an $80 million deal, signaling a major theatrical push for the gothic romance.
The adaptation, directed by Emerald Fennell, promises a bold and provocative take on the classic novel. The trailer, released this week, showcases a visually arresting and intensely charged atmosphere, underscored by a snippet of new music from XCX. This marks a significant venture for the artist, who is simultaneously expanding her acting career with roles in Overcompensating, Eruption, and 100 Nights of Hero.
Robbie and Elordi reunite after their collaboration on Saltburn, with Fennell also serving as writer and producer. The cast also includes Hong Chau as Nelly Dean, Alison Oliver as isabella Linton, and Shazad Latif as Edgar Linton.
the project’s high profile is underscored by the competitive acquisition process. Netflix offered $150 million for the rights, but Warner Bros. ultimately prevailed by prioritizing a wide theatrical release,a pitch favored by Robbie’s production company,LuckyChap. This film represents the third collaboration between luckychap and fennell.”I am really enjoying my acting journey,” Charli XCX previously told Variety. “I feel very,very inspired at the moment in that field… and I only ever want to do things that inspire me and make me feel energized.”
Wuthering Heights is currently slated for a theatrical release on February 13, 2026.
