Now, the first teaser trailer has finally been shared, all but confirming previously-held suspicions that Emerald's follow-up to Saltburn will be less of a faithful literary adaptation, and more like an erotic thriller.
Her take on Wuthering Heights will also feature original songs by Charli XCX, with a remix of her Brat cut Everything Is Romantic soundtracking the first teaser.
The departure from the source material has already ruffled some feathers, with many fans taking issue with some of the Promising Young Woman director's stylistic choices.
At the same time, plenty of others are excited by the prospect of an entirely new take on Wuthering Heights (which has already been adapted for the big and small screen multiple times), with many film fans expressing their intrigue over the set design and gothic aesthetic.
Jacob and Margot's casting news did receive backlash last year due to claims of "whitewashing" Heathcliff's character - who is described as "dark-skinned" in the original books - while others found The Wolf Of Wall Street actor to be an unconvincing heroine due to the age gap between her and the teenage character.
