The Wuthering Heights trailer’s raciest moments: From finger sucking to heaving corsets, whipping and bondage, how film reboot is already being hailed as ‘the new Fifty Shades’

The upcoming film adaptation of Wuthering Heights has taken the internet by storm with its overt eroticisation – as the steamy trailer features finger-sucking, bondage and very intimate sound effects.

Despite being only a minute and a half long, the teaser does an impressive job of cramming in as many racy scenes as possible, and has already been branded ‘the new Fifty Shades Of Grey.’

Starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff and Cathy – and with an apt release date of next Valentine’s day – Emerald Fennell’s interpretation of the classic novel is unashamedly sexy.

Even the title card is not safe from the clutches of sensuality, and the swirling font is lace-textured.

From heaving corsets to sweaty backs, dripping wet men and voyeurism – here are the raciest moments from the controversial trailer.

Bread, eggs and a jellied fish 

Watchers with food kinks will be delighted at the representation offered by the short clip.

Fans are immediately shown a pair of moist hands kneading a lump of dough, with no audible sound except its uncomfortable squelching.

Elsewhere, a finger renders an egg inedible when it crushes its yolk along with several other scattered eggs.

Another good meal put to waste is a macabre jellied fish which also gets a finger in its mouth – complete with more squelching sound effects.

Heaving corsets

Through Charli XCX’s electro-pop track, listeners will catch more than a few gasps and heaves from a breathless Cathy.

It seems she is perpetually flustered and increasingly uncomfortable in her too-tight corset from which her heaving chest pours – and we get plenty of close-ups.

Unhelpfully, a maid tightens the bodice even more, and we see her sweaty back in intricate detail.

Luckily, Heathcliff saves the day when he cuts away her corset from her body from the front with what looks like a pair of garden scissors.

Finger sucking

Having rendered all the bread, fish and eggs in the house uneatable, the protagonists opt for fingers instead.

One scene sees Heathcliff’s fingers sprawled haphazardly over Cathy’s face, with a few in her mouth for good measure.

He’s not left out, though, and she generously offers him one of her own to suck on in a separate clip.

And sharp-witted viewers will remember that the fish even saw some action earlier on.

Bondage 

In the novel, Edgar’s younger sister Isabella Linton becomes infatuated with Heathcliff.

And the trailer sees her confess her love by crawling on her hands and knees with a heavy metal collar around her neck as she sticks her tongue out as far as it will reach.

Another clip sees the camera zoom in to Heathcliff’s whipped and bloody back, with the sound of a whip cracking in the background.

Voyeurism

Desperate Heathcliff partakes in a bit of voyeurism when Cathy kisses her husband in front of him, and he looks angrily on.

In another raunchy scene Heathcliff, with his hands creeping down Cathy’s front, asks her in a clunky English accent: ‘Do you want me to stop?’

The still breathless Cathy gasps, it seems, into the microphone before saying: ‘No.’

Other notable mentions are a smouldering Heathcliff standing dripping wet in what looks like a barn, and the sound effects – be they squeezing, dripping, breathing, whipping or gasping – that endure throughout.

Having seen the trailer for themselves, some fans seemed to agree as they took to X to brand the film ‘erotic softcore porn.’ 

Posts on X included: ‘Is Wuthering Heights about BDSM and fingering a fish? First in my generation to see a scene like that;

‘Listen, I’m no puritan and I’m into horror, it takes a f**k ton to purely shock me, so it’s not the hypersexuality that makes me side-eye this, it’s the fact that we are completely changing the tone & theme of the novel? Why? Couldn’t she make an original feature film?;

‘Genuinely feeling haunted by the erotic retelling of Wuthering Heights and I don’t even like the book;

‘The gothic is erotic by definition, contrary to the people beamoning ”they’re making wuthering heights porn!” there’s sexual tension between Cathy and Heathcliff in the book, which doesn’t really debase their bigger than life, spiritual bond and then heathcliff’s sadism;

‘I don’t care if it’s accurate to the source material it just looks sexy and fun;

‘THEY PUT BDSM IN WUTHERING HEIGHTS?!?!?!?;

‘Knowing Emerald Fennell’s movies this adaptation will be chaotic, twisted and very provocative with many juicy scenes;

‘I’m seated for the insane cinematography, and for Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi’s chemistry.’

Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights will be coming to cinemas on Valentine’s Day, 2026.
