The actor and helmer Emerald Fennell also worked together on 'Saltburn.'
Jacob Elordi was ready to take some time off, until the opportunity for Wuthering Heights came about.
Shooting for Wuthering Heights recently wrapped in the U.K., and it’s Elordi’s second time working with the director Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Woman, The Danish Girl), since 2023’s Saltburn. So, when it came to casting for the project, the actor was able to skip the audition part.
“I was really lucky. I was going to take a break for a while, and then Emerald just very simply texted me, and you can’t run from that text,” Elordi told IndieWire.

The film stars Margot Robbie opposite Elordi, and is an adaption of Emily Brontë’s novel of the same name, which follows the tumultuous relationship between Catherine Earnshaw (Robbie) and Heathcliff(Elordi) that’s passionate and intense after meeting at the eponymous residence and the impact the relationship has on their families.
The actor teased what it was like to work closely with the Barbie actress. “She’s incredible in the film, she’s a livewire. I’m so, so excited for people to see it,” he said. “She’s a beautiful actor and she gave so, so much.”
Elordi has Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein coming out later this year and is currently filming the highly anticipated third season of HBO’s Euphoria. Robbie, meanwhile, has A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, in which she stars alongside Colin Farrell, set to premiere in September.
Wuthering Heights is set to release from Warner Bros. in February of next year. Robbie’s production company LuckyChap Entertainment is producing.
