Wuthering Heights Reboot: From Finger-Sucking to Bondage, Is It the New 'Fifty Shades'?

The upcoming film adaptation of Wuthering Heights has taken the internet by storm with its overt eroticisation (Margot Robbie as Cathy)

The Sizzling Trailer for Wuthering Heights Has Left Fans Breathless!

Get ready, book lovers and romance enthusiasts! The highly anticipated film adaptation of Emily Brontë's classic novel, Wuthering Heights, has dropped its scorching hot trailer, and it's got everyone talking. Director Emerald Fennell's steamy take on the timeless tale is set to sizzle screens on Valentine's Day 2026, and we've got all the juicy details for you.

The Trailer That's Got Everyone Talking

Despite being only a minute and a half long, the teaser does an impressive job of cramming in as many racy scenes as possible (Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff)

In just over a minute and a half, the trailer has packed in more racy scenes than a Fifty Shades Of Grey marathon. Starring Margot Robbie as the fiery Cathy and Jacob Elordi as the brooding Heathcliff, this adaptation promises to bring the classic novel to life in a whole new way.

As the camera pans across the lush Yorkshire moors, we're treated to a feast of forbidden love, passion, and desire. From heaving corsets to sweaty backs, dripping wet men, and voyeurism – this trailer has it all!

The Racy Moments That Will Leave You Breathless

Fans are immediately shown a pair of moist hands kneading a lump of dough, with no audible sound except its uncomfortable squelching

  1. Bread, Eggs, and Jellied Fish: The trailer kicks off with a mouth-watering (or should we say, mouth-wateringly awkward?) scene where Heathcliff's fingers are seen kneading dough, squelching through eggs, and even getting up close and personal with a jellied fish. Yes, you read that right – a jellied fish!
  2. Heaving Corsets: Poor Cathy! She's stuck in her too-tight corset, gasping for air as the camera zooms in on her sweaty back. But don't worry, Heathcliff is on hand to rescue her with some rather...unconventional means.
  3. Finger-Sucking Frenzy: Who needs bread when you have fingers? Heathcliff and Cathy get up close and personal, sharing a rather intimate moment (or two, or three). And don't even get us started on the fish – it's had its fair share of action, too!
  4. Bondage: Isabella Linton gets her collar out, and things take a rather...dark turn. But will Heathcliff be able to resist his desire for Cathy?
  5. Voyeurism: It seems Cathy is not the only one who's interested in getting up close and personal with someone else's significant other...

Fans Are Going Wild!

The trailer has set social media ablaze, with fans taking to X (formerly Twitter) to express their shock, awe, and utter bewilderment. Some have praised the film for its bold take on the classic novel, while others are worried that it's straying too far from the original story.

Elsewhere, a finger renders an egg inedible when it crushes its yolk along with several other scattered eggs

Another good meal put to waste is a macabre jellied fish which also gets a finger in its mouth - complete with more squelching sound effects

It seems Cathy is perpetually flustered and increasingly uncomfortable in her too-tight corset from which her heaving chest pours - and we get plenty of close-ups

Unhelpfully, a maid tightens the bodice even more, and we see her sweaty back in intricate detail

Luckily, Heathcliff saves the day when he cuts away her corset from her body from the front with what looks like a pair of garden scissors

One scene sees Heathcliff's fingers sprawled haphazardly over Cathy's face, with a few in her mouth for good measure

He's not left out, though, and she generously offers him one of her own to suck on in a separate clip

the trailer sees Isabella confess her love by crawling on her hands and knees with a heavy metal collar around her neck as she sticks her tongue out as far as it will reach

Another clip sees the camera zoom in to Heathcliff's whipped and bloody back, with the sound of a whip cracking in the background

Desperate Heathcliff partakes in a bit of voyeurism when Cathy kisses her husband in front of him, and he looks angrily on

In another raunchy scene Heathcliff, with his hands creeping down Cathy's front, asks her in a clunky English accent: 'Do you want me to stop?'
