MOVIE NEWS: Wuthering Heights
Following news on Trashionista last week about an adaptation of Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, we have now come across the news that there will be a new version of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights to be filmed.
Natalie Portman was going to star as Cathy but she has dropped out due to other commitments. Heathcliff is tipped to be Michael Fassbender (I had to look him up) an Irish-German actor who has starred in 300 and The Real Life of Angel Deverell. I have never heard of him or his films, but still, I think the photograph of him demonstrates the passionate and dark side of Heathcliff's nature. Does it not? [Via Empire]

Michael plays dark and brooding VERY well!! I think if people have an open mind they will be very pleased by his Heathcliff. That photo is from the British show HEX in which he played a delicious fallen angel named Azazeal!

I think it's a very good piece of casting. Michael is a very good actor and i'm sure will make a fantastic Heathcliff. I hope this goes through. I'm glad Natalie Portman left the project. She really wasn't good enough to play Cathy. Here's hoping the part goes to Emily Blunt or Hayley Atwell!!.
Michael looks delicious in that pic.!!! Lol.
