Filming is expected to take place in England in 2025.
Set in the early 19th century, the romance follows wealthy Cathy who grows up loving her foster brother, chooses to marry wealthy Edgar, dies pining for Heathcliff, then haunts him until he goes mad.
The most recent film adaptation was in 2011 and starred Kaya Scodelario as Cathy and James Howson as Heathcliff.
A 1970 version paired Anna Calder-Marshall and Timothy Dalton, while Juliette Binoche and Ralph Fiennes headlined a 1992 film and Charlotte Riley and Tom Hardy played the roles in a 2008 miniseries.
