For many years, Wuthering Heights, for me, was an ace Kate Bush song. But it turns out it’s also a classic novel by Emily Bronte. And it’s a cracker! Bronte’s story is much unlike other books from that era and recalls Greek tragedy. Seriously!
So, basically, if you thought Wuthering Heights was some chick lit novel from ye days of olde then you’d be dead wrong. Andrea Arnold has adapted it for the screen and we’ll edge a bet and say this is going to be pretty darn good. Imagine this will be playing at this year’s London Film Festival too.
Wuthering Heights will be released 11th November, 2011 in UK cinemas.
Artificial Eye is delighted to announce Andrea Arnold’s WUTHERING HEIGHTSwill be released across the UK on 11th November 2011. WUTHERING HEIGHTS is Academy Award(R)-winning writer-director Andrea Arnold’s third feature following the BAFTA(R) award winning, Fish Tank and Cannes Jury Prize winning Red Road.
A Yorkshire hill farmer on a visit to Liverpool finds a homeless boy on the streets. He takes him home to live as part of his family on the isolated Yorkshire moors where the boy forges an obsessive relationship with the farmer’s daughter.
Based on the novel by Emily Brontë and adapted for the screen by Andrea Arnold and Olivia Hetreed, WUTHERING HEIGHTS stars newcomer James Howson as “Heathcliff” and Kaya Scodelario (Skins) as “Cathy” alongside Steve Evets (“Joseph”), Oliver Milburn (“Mr Linton”), and Nicola Burley (“Isabella Linton”). Arnold is joined by long-time creative collaborators, Director of Photography, Robbie Ryan BSC and Editor, Nicolas Chaudeurge. WUTHERING HEIGHTS is produced by Robert Bernstein and Douglas Rae of Ecosse Films and Kevin Loader of Free Range Films with Executive Producer Tessa Ross for Film4. WUTHERING HEIGHTS was developed and co-funded by the Lottery through the UK Film Council’s film funds. Film4, Goldcrest and Screen Yorkshire are co-financiers and international sales are handled by HanWay Films.
Kaya Scodelario was born in London, England. Right away, there was something different about her. Although she had a British upbringing, Kaya Scodelario had Brazilian roots and she spent time learning Portuguese until she was fluent in the language. At the age of 14, Kaya Scodelario decided to pursue acting and she auditioned for Skins, the debut series for new channel E4. Amazingly, Kaya Scodelario won the role of Effy despite the fact that she had no other acting experience to speak of. Maybe it was a stroke of luck or a glimpse of raw natural talent, but either way, Kaya Scodelario was pleased to have the opportunity and joined the show in January 2007. After an inauspicious debut in which she had no lines, Kaya Scodelario's role of Effy proved to be quite a test. At the forefront of many disasters, including stalkers, death and sexual pressures, Effy became a fan favourite for her ability to somehow resolve testing life situations while keeping her head above water. As the role became more challenging, Kaya Scodelario came to like it even more since she likened Effy's difficulties and loss of friends to real life. After two seasons of Skins, the series endured an overhaul at the end of 2007. Feeling that most of the characters had run their course, every character was written out of the series except for Effy. This was a significant change because it meant that Kaya Scodelario would be the most recognizable face for season three. As Kaya Scodelario waited for the new season of Skins to begin, she has taken advantage of her recent clout to seek out additional career opportunities. She joined the elite agency Models 1 and soon had a photo-op as the cover model for SUPERSUPER Magazine. Kaya Scodelario may be fostering her modeling career, but she is also making her feature film debut with a role in the 2009 film Moon. It stars Sam Rockwell as an astronaut suffering from surreal encounters while on the lunar planet. With Mars filming underway and her successful TV series to fall back on, Kaya Scodelario definitely won't run out of things to do.
