[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Word is the new adaptation is completely and totally unhinged.

Honestly it's a tricky novel and I've never particularly liked any adaptation.[/quote]

It’s a really tricky novel to adapt!

Filmmakers try to make Catherine and Heathcliff people to route for when they are immature, selfish people who are in a toxic relationship that continues after death. It’s so moving to read a grief stricken Heathcliff taunt Catherine’s ghost to haunt him.  “I cannot without my life! I cannot live without my soul!” But on film it’s just like, enough already.

I would much prefer a version that focused on the true love story of Cathy and Hareton. I’d love to watch them build a quiet, happy life from the wreckage of their dead families.

That being said, I’ll be there on opening night to watch the new version. [/quote]

FWIW when I say unhinged I mean lots of very weird sex stuff:

If you haven't watched Saltburn to understand this director, maybe check that out for context.[/quote]
Gross. The description in the article makes me absolutely not want to see it. [/quote]
