Les Hauts de Hurlevents de Andrea Arnold

Après la réadaptation de de Jane Eyre par Cary Fukunaga, une autre oeuvre des soeurs Brontë, ici Emily, va être réadapter par la réalisatrice écossaise Andrea Arnold, il s'agit bien évidemment des Hauts de Hurlevents (Wuthering Heights)...énième réadaptation on peut dire, oui, mais le nom de cette réalisatrice extrêmement talentueuse (Red Road, Fish Tank) apporte tous son intérêt à ce projet, au delà de la magnifique oeuvre d'Emily Brontë...nous pouvons espérer un film moins conventionnel, sobre et néanmoins plein de passion et peut-être plus authentique et cela commence dés le choix des acteurs puisque Andrea Arnold chercherait un interprète au plus proche de la description qui est fait de Heathcliff dans le livre...

Andrea Arnold's 'Wuthering
Heights' Trying To Cast Authentically

Emily Bronte's book Wuthering
Heights was my favorite book. Now it's everyone's favorite
book. For someone who always said "Go back and read the classics because
they're sexier!," it's both gratifying and mortifying to see it become
embedded in Robert
Pattinson and Twilight
pop culture. Oh well. The dusty old readers probably said the
same thing when Laurence
Olivier cultified it, too.

I've never been able to watch a film adaptation -- not even Olivier's --
because none of them were dark, brutal, and Gothic enough for my taste.
More specifically, none of them ever cast Heathcliff as anything other
than a well-spoken and pale-skinned Englishman or Welshman. Bronte takes
great pains to emphasize that Heathcliff is something foreign, with
"swarthy" skin and dark hair, and his origin is just one of the reasons
everyone (save Cathy) disdains him. No one knows exactly what
he is, and their best guess is that he's a gypsy foundling. Naturally,
there's a lot of racist hinting that his dubious ethnic background is
the reason for his cruelty and madness. A sad sign of the times -- and
any time, really.

Well, at least one filmmaker is going to try and buck that old trend. The
London Times reports that Andrea
Arnold is reaching out to Britain's Romany community in the hopes
of casting an unknown actor to play Heathcliff. This has been a bit
politically fraught, as would be expected, and they haven't yet found a
young man to take the role. But they're trying, and that thrills me to
no end. If they cast Heathcliff properly, and steer clear of the posh
RADA types (who I certainly love for all other English Lit
roles), this might be the first Wuthering Heights I will
actually sit down and watch.

ca s'annonce bien donc...

Quelques photos, pour ceux qui ne la connaîtrait pas, de la jeune Kaya Scoledario (18 ans) qui interprètera le rôle de Catherine Earnshaw. Pour l'avoir un peu vue dans la série anglaise Skins, cette jeune actrice a beaucoup de présence.

Il semblerait que Andrea Arnold peine à trouver l'acteur qui interprètera Heathcliff alors que le tournage devait commencer en juin, je ne trouve aucune info à ce sujet et apparemment ils ont dû faire une seconde annonce pour le casting

Par contre, info positive, le scénariste est Olivia Hetreed, scénariste de La jeune fille à la perle

J'avais plus trop suivi ces derniers temps, mais Andrea Arnold a enfin son casting au complet semblerait-il.

et donc James Howson, comédien inconnu originaire de Leeds sera Heathcliff :



c'est sur que ça change de Lawrence Olivier ou Ralph Fiennes, c'est très intéressant du coup comme choix.

Nichola Burley est Isabella Linton :



Oliver Milburn est Mr. Linton



Steve Evets est Joseph



Amy Wren est Frances Earnshaw



Paul Hilton est Mr. Earnsahaw




Que du pas ou peu connu comme toujours chez Andrea Arnold, la seule exception a été Michael Fassbender dans Fish Tank...et encore...
