It was released on September 3, and from those few parts from the film that was revealed, Fennell promises the most exciting and sexiest “Wuthering Heights” adaptation.

From the back and forth heated moments between Catherine and Heathclif to the romantic flashbacks she kept on having about him, this movie will keep you on your toes and your eyes glued to your screens.

Where’s “Wuthering Heights” being filmed?

The BBC revealed some locations including valleys such as Surrender Bridge, Arkengarthdale, and Swaledale, the village of Low Row. The filming began in 2025, with shooting locations in the Yorkshire Dales National Park in England.

That’s where Robbie was first seen on set in paparazzi photos published in March 2025. In the photos, she was seen in what appeared to be a wedding scene, dressed in a voluminous white ball gown, a diamond tiara on a long flowy veil with a bridal bouquet in her hand.

What fans are saying

The casting stirred up a few controversies. Fans who read the novel were quick to point out that Elordi’s identity as a white man differs from the character he played as Bronte described Heathclif as a non-white character.

Also, from the paparazzi photos where Robbie was seen, the book lovers also pointed out that the novel described Catherine’s character as having dark-brown hair while Margot was seen with her signature blonde hair.

Early next year, we will find out if Fennell’s version will remain true to the original novel. Although, the casting director had told Deadline in April 2025 that there are “definitely going to be some English Lit fans that are not going to be happy” with the new interpretation.

Where can I watch the movie?

“Wuthering Heights” is set to be released on February 13, 2026 and will be available in theaters.

5 Films to Stream Before Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’

Published

Before Christopher Nolan’s upcoming adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey arrives on screen, audiences can revisit the cinematic worlds that have long shaped epic storytelling: warriors facing impossible odds, legendary figures caught between honour and ambition, gods influencing human fate, and heroes defined by extraordinary journeys.

Traditionally attributed to the ancient Greek poet Homer, The Odyssey remains one of the foundational works of Western literature, exploring themes of courage, loyalty, temptation and the search for home. While Nolan’s adaptation will bring its own interpretation to the legendary voyage of Odysseus, several films offer a compelling introduction to the mythology, ancient civilisations and heroic traditions that continue to inspire stories today.

From the battlefields of Troy to mythical realms ruled by gods and monsters, these five films provide a cinematic journey through the themes, worlds and legends that have made epic storytelling endure.

Troy (2004): The Essential Prelude to Homer’s World

No film sits closer to The Odyssey’s mythology than Troy. Directed by Wolfgang Petersen, the historical epic brings the legendary Trojan War the conflict that forms the backdrop to Homer’s Iliad to life.

The film brings legendary figures from the Trojan War, including Achilles, Hector and Agamemnon, to the screen while exploring the power struggles, alliances and personal conflicts surrounding the battle between the Greeks and Trojans. For audiences preparing for The Odyssey, Troy provides important context for understanding the world of ancient heroes and the aftermath of one of mythology’s most famous wars.

At its centre is one of the defining ideas of ancient epics: that the choices of warriors and leaders can stay long after their own time.

Gladiator (2000): Honour, Power and the Ancient World

Although set in Ancient Rome rather than Greece, Ridley Scott’s Gladiator remains one of modern cinema’s defining historical epics.

Starring Russell Crowe as Maximus Decimus Meridius, the film explores loyalty, revenge and resilience against the Roman Empire. Its depiction of political ambition, military conflict and personal honour reflects the kind of grand-scale storytelling that has long captivated audiences through ancient-world narratives.

For viewers anticipating The Odyssey, Gladiator offers another reminder of why stories from antiquity continue to resonate: their central themes remain deeply human.

300 (2007): The Warrior Spirit of Ancient Greece

Zack Snyder’s 300 delivers a highly stylised interpretation of the Battle of Thermopylae, where King Leonidas and his Spartan warriors faced the Persian army.

While the film is not based on Homer’s epics, it captures elements often associated with Greek heroic tradition, including sacrifice, courage, duty and the pursuit of glory.

Its dramatic visual style and portrayal of Spartan culture make it a fitting companion for viewers interested in the warrior ideals that shaped many ancient Greek stories.

Clash of the Titans (2010): Gods, Monsters and Mythical Quests

Greek mythology has always existed between the human and divine worlds, where heroes encounter gods, monsters and forces beyond their control.

Clash of the Titans, directed by Louis Leterrier, explores this mythology through the story of Perseus, a hero from Greek legend who faces extraordinary challenges connected to the gods.

With its mythical creatures, divine conflicts and heroic journey, the film offers a more fantasy-driven introduction to the mythology surrounding many ancient Greek tales.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000): A Modern Take on the Journey Home

For a different interpretation of Homer’s influence, Joel and Ethan Coen’s O Brother, Where Art Thou? transforms themes from The Odyssey into a Depression-era American adventure.

The film follows three escaped prisoners on a journey across Mississippi, incorporating elements inspired by Homer’s epic poem, including encounters and characters that mirror ideas from the original story.

Although its setting is far removed from ancient Greece, the film highlights the enduring appeal of The Odyssey’s central themes: fate, transformation, temptation and the search for home.

As audiences prepare for Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s legendary voyage, these films offer a journey through the mythology, history and heroic traditions that continue to shape epic storytelling.

The Grand Slam champion, Naomi Osaka made her 2026 French Open appearance in a bold layered look, arriving on court before revealing her match outfit ahead of her first-round match against Laura Siegemund.

Photo: Instagram

She first stepped onto the clay court in a sleeveless black top with a corset-style hem, with sequined detailing. The sequins fell in loose, fringe-like strands, adding movement to the look. She paired it with a black pleated maxi skirt, with a soft nude underlayer.

When it was time to play, Osaka removed the outer pieces to reveal a gold minidress underneath. The look featured a high-neck top with a ruffled hem and lines of gold sequins, matched with a tiered mini skirt finished with similar detailing. She wore pink sneakers and styled her hair in a braided bun, with a few loose strands left out.

Speaking at a press conference, Osaka explained how she expresses herself through fashion.
“I feel like fashion, for me, I tell people, I don’t talk a lot, so that way I can talk through my clothes. That means I can be as loud with colors or patterns or fabric as I want, that’s the fun part, you know.” She continued, “I feel like we lost that a little in tennis, I always tell people I grew up with Serena and Venus Williams‘ grand reveals. I literally can look at a picture and probably tell you what year that outfit came from.

She concluded with “I know there are some kids or some people that are similar to me that hopefully feel that same way about my outfits. But, yeah, I am a little dramatic when it comes to my fashion sense.”

Osaka defeated Siegemund to advance to the second round, where she is set to face Donna Vekić on May 27.
