Andrea Arnold joins Wuthering Heights
Peter Webber was said to be directing the project in December. Previously attached director John Maybury left the film last summer. Natalie Portman, Abbie Cornish and Gemma Arterton were all attached at one point to play the lead "role of doomed lover Cathy."
The novel follows Cathy as she has to choose between her passionate love for a man named Heathcliff and her well-meaning husband.
With Arnold on board, the project will most likely start production by spring.
The film is said to emphasize the youthful, teen aspect of the main characters in the original source material.
Wuthering Heights was released November 11th, 2011 and stars Kaya Scodelario, James Howson, Oliver Milburn, Nichola Burley, Amy Wren, James Northcote, Steve Evets, Paul Hilton. The film is directed by Andrea Arnold.
