/Film: Gemma Arterton to Star In New Wuthering Heights

    This may be a shock - but Ed Westwick kicks ass. This could be great! Even on the show Gossip Girl (which loves to luxuriate in literary references - one episode did a fantastic simultaneous twist of Edith Wharton and Chekhov's "The Seagull") Ed does extraordinary work. His character is so close to Heathcliff anyway, it should be marvelous. I now cannot wait!

    Ed Westwick is horrible, i just watched S. Darko on OnDemand and that kid needs acting lessons.

    well AICN said it wasnt bad...but it was. i need to stop listening to that site. Harry Knowles seems to like everything that moves at 24 frames per second.

    I'd like to show Gemma Arterton my Wuthering Heights.

    Westwick hasn't had many movie roles, just bit parts I think like in Breaking and Entering, Son of Rambow, and the horrid S. Darko to name a few. I think Gossip Girl is the best the he's been in.

    Horrible. This is just going to be another horrible version of a fantastic novel. Why are they doing this?? Ed Westick doesn't have the background and acting chops to pull off the depth of Heathcliff. This is will be beyond disappointing, but obviously a tween dream gem.
    For shame, Hollywood!

    Yeah, Wuthering Heights was the worst book I've ever read. Seriously. It's retarded. There's like six Catherine/Cathys and a wolfman named Heathcliff and it's all this boring bullshit like "oh man i fucking love you" "i love you too but you're an outcast" "i'm gonna be a wolfman and shit" "okay."

    That's the fucking book.

    That said, I would probably watch it if Arterton was in it. Because she's hot.

    They could pretty much just film Gemma eating lunch, sleeping, buying groceries, whatever. I'll buy a ticket.

    Hmmm...I don't want to judge too quickly, but for some reason I get the feeling this may turn out more for the teen demographic. I've been looking forward to a new movie of Wuthering Heights, but I'm not sure how I feel about these two...Arterton is promising, but I'm not sure about the casting of Westwick.

    I agree with Butterfly.Ed westwick was brilliant at portraying Chuck in gossip girl, he was one of the most dramatic and probably difficult charcters to play and he pulled it off.
    I'm not going to judge until I see the movie.

    are you freaking kidding people who are complaining? anyone seen ed as chuck on gossip girl? when chucks dad died he went all depressed, emo, angsty, angry and basically made me think that he will be an AMAZING Heathlcliff.
