Wuthering Heights Revisited

"Film chiefs have told the Yorkshire Evening Post 'off the record' that the deal has been done to bring two of the film industry's biggest stars to Yorkshire. Film scouts are understood to have been combing the Yorkshire area in the last 10 days to find the perfect film locations to film the wild, passionate scenes between two of the world's hottest stars, who will play Heathcliff and Cathy, two of the literary world's greatest romantic figures. They are rumoured to start filming next year and could be in Yorkshire for six months, along with a huge crew and cast. The lid is being kept on details of the deal. Depp, 42, who is a lover of the Bronte's literary works, once said during an interview: "Am I a romantic? I've seen Wuthering Heights 10 times. I'm a romantic." From I Don't Like You In That Way

Angelina Jolie is reportedly set to play the female lead. This sucks for me. I adore British Lit (it was my major) and think Wuthering Heights is a fantastic story. But Angelina and Johnny Depp are WAY too old to play the stars and Angelina could never play a confused, frail young girl. I have to believe this isn't true.
