The casting director of Emerald Fennell’s forthcoming adaptation of Wuthering Heights has responded to criticism of the film’s leads saying that there is “no need to be accurate” since the source material is “just a book”.
The new adaptation of the 1850 Emily Brontë classic, famously made into a song by Kate Bush, will be directed by Fennell, whose first film Promising Young Woman earned her an Oscar for best original screenplay.
