Margot is set to play the female lead, Catherine Earnshaw, with Jacob in the iconic role of Heathcliff, Deadline reports.
No plot details about this version of the adaptation have been made public at this time. This actually isn’t Margot and Jacob‘s first time acting together. They star in the new short film, See You at 5, directed by Call Me by Your Name‘s Luca Guadagnino, as part of a new Chanel No. 5 campaign.
Margot raved about him in a new interview, saying, “He’s wonderful. And as you said, I worked with him on Saltburn in a producer-actor capacity. So I haven’t shared the screen with him before, but I know I’ve seen him on set, I’ve been around him on set, and he’s just—he’s got an incredible presence. He’s a movie star—he’s got that charisma. He holds a frame. He’s also really lovely and from the same state that I’m from in Australia. We’re about an hour away from each other, but he’s from Brisbane, and I’m from the Gold Coast. Even though the whole point of our film is that we cross paths and miss each other, it still felt like we did the campaign together.”
