However now that the trailer is right here, followers of the guide are furious.

    The primary Wuthering Heights trailer dropped on YouTube earlier this week, and it has already been considered over six million instances.

    The protagonist of Wuthering Heights is depicted within the 1847 novel from the age of six years previous to 19 years previous, making 35-year-old Margot Robbie the improper age for the function.
