No truth to the rumor that Johnny Depp will film WUTHERING HEIGHTS with Angelina Jolie

Don’t believe the rumors circulating regarding a new film version of Emily Bronte’s classic novel WUTHERING HEIGHTS, supposedly starring Johnny Depp as Heathcliff and Angelina Jolie as Cathy. While the high-voltage pairing would be a studio president’s dream, Johnny’s publicist Robin Baum told UK reporter Clive White, “There is no truth [to the rumor]–thank you for checking.” You can read the details on the Zone’s News & Views forum; thanks very much to emma for posting the stories from the UK press. It is perhaps natural that Johnny’s name would come up in connection with Heathcliff, since he has often spoken of his love for the 1939 film of WUTHERING HEIGHTS, starring Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon. But that doesn’t mean Johnny is headed to Yorkshire any time in the near future. Sorry, Bronte fans . . . .
