Turns out that Emerald Fennell’s “Wuthering Heights” is being shot in VistaVision. Recently leaked photos, with lead Margot Robbie in a wedding dress, have been making the rounds the last few days. DP Linus Sandgren was seen using the film format.
There wasn’t a film shot in VistaVision for over 60 years until Brady Corbet’s “The Brutalist” broke that spell last year. Before that one, the last film to use VistaVision cameras was Marlon Brando’s “One-Eyed Jacks” in 1961.
Now, we’re going to be getting four films in the next year shooting in VistaVision. Whether this turns out to be a brief fad remains to be seen, but so far we have new VistaVision-shot films from Fennell, Paul Thomas Anderson, Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu, and Yorgos Lanthimos coming out in 2025 and 2026.
“Wuthering Heights,” based on Emily Brontë’s 19th century novel, stars Robbie and Jacob Elordi, and is set up for February 2026 release via Warner Bros. Fennell is coming off having directed “Promising Young Woman” and “Saltburn” back-to-back
