‘Wuthering Heights’ is getting buzz for being too raunchy — but here’s the insane Jacob Elordi scene they skipped

For all the buzz about Emerald Fennell’s provocative take on “Wuthering Heights,” the filmmaker wimped out.

Now in theaters, the writer-director’s controversial movie stars Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie as Heathcliff and Cathy in the adaptation of the Emily Brontë novel. 

In a January interview with Esquire, Fennell called it “sticky and dark” and “kind of hardcore.” 

She made those grand statements — and the trailer sent everyone in a tizzy about how raunchy it looked — but in the end, she didn’t commit enough to getting freaky and dark.

For the uninitiated, the basic plot is that in 1800s England, Cathy and Heathcliff are raised together in a dreary isolated home on the English moors and develop a toxic relationship that explodes when she marries another man for his money. It ends in tragedy. 

With her previous films, 2020’s “Promising Young Woman” and 2023’s “Saltburn,” Fennell made a name for herself for featuring violence and pervy behavior.
