New Brontë movies: Ed Westwick as Heathcliff?
Apparently Twilight has popularized Wuthering Heights enough to the point where new film adaptations of both Wuthering Heights (by Emily Bronte) and Jane Eyre (by Charlotte Bronte) are being made. As you may know, Wuthering Heights is the main character's favorite book in the Twilight series.
From the Guardian article:
Wuthering Heights, directed by Peter Webber, will star 22-year-old Ed Westwick, a British actor best known from the American teen TV series Gossip Girl, as an unusually youthful Heathcliff. Gemma Arterton, 23, will play Cathy.
I actually didn't like Wuthering Heights or the old 1939 movie version of it very much (see my posts about them) but with Ed Westwick aka Chuck Bass in the movie...I just might watch the new movie anyway. :)
While I didn't enjoy Twilight very much either, I would recommend The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield, which is often compared to Wuthering Heights (and Jane Eyre -- which I did like).

p.s. have you read about the new Twilight inspired covers for Wuthering Heights?
