Warner Bros. released the first trailer for the film on 12 Aug. providing the first official glimpse into the "imagined life of one of the world's most famous authors, Emily Brontë." The trailer starts with the question: "Emily, How did you write 'Wuthering Heights'?" with the footage that follows suggesting that the narrative of "Emily" will explore how certain elements of the author's life played into the creation of her classic work. A dramatic orchestral score led by violins creating a gothic atmosphere and provides the haunting soundtrack.
With plenty of sweeping shots of the Yorkshire landscape, close-up shot of stolen glances between the romantic leads, and scenes of writing in candlelight, the film is set to embody everything that makes period dramas great. The trailer was posted with the tagline: "Rebel. Misfit. Genius." Our first glimpse at Emma Mackey in the role certainly provides the sense that she is all three!
