00:00I really hope that anyone who watches the film kind of understands what I felt
00:09because I think that the film is as good a description of like the physical response that I
00:14had. I was just completely blown apart by it. It was so beautiful, it was so visceral, it was so
00:27devastating. It was the first book that that I really that really made me like physically respond
00:33and so yeah when it when it came to making the next movie I just thought now is the time to make
00:40something that really makes us all feel. You started with Jacob right? Well Jacob and Margot both came
00:47off pretty quickly actually but I think when I when I worked with Jacob in Saltburn I was already
00:54sort of thinking about Wuthering Heights and you know the part that he plays in Saltburn is such a
01:00horrible person on paper so that was always the kind of game of that character was that he's you
01:07know he's spoiled and he's entitled and he's cruel and he's he's lots of very bad things and it and the
01:15the game was always to make everyone love him and that's what Jacob did and it was such difficult
01:22things to do and because Heathcliff is such a complicated character he's such an anti-hero it needed
01:28somebody who could bring that kind of tenderness and a sensitivity that would make the audience kind
01:34of understand even when he's at his worst that there's still something kind of deeply lovable about
01:41yeah they're not easy to fall in love with right both of them. I think all of the best characters
01:47aren't easy to fall in love with you know so much about so so many of the things that I enjoy are about
01:54kind of the application of pressure and the pushing of you know my own boundaries about what
02:00I think is acceptable and not and I think that's why Wuthering Heights is such a sort of timeless story
02:05because even now the characters are difficult to love but that's what makes it such a an amazingly deeply felt story
