Emily - Official Trailer - Warner Bros. UK

Published 2022-08-11
Rebel. Misfit. Genius. Watch the new trailer for #EmilyMovie and delve into the mind behind Wuthering Heights. Available on DVD and Digital Download Now.

“EMILY” tells the imagined life of one of the world’s most famous authors, Emily Brontë. The film stars Emma Mackey (“Sex Education”, “Death on the Nile”) as Emily, a rebel and misfit, as she finds her voice and writes the literary classic Wuthering Heights. “EMILY” explores the relationships that inspired her – her raw, passionate sisterhood with Charlotte (Alexandra Dowling – “The Musketeers”) and Anne (Amelia Gething – “The Spanish Princess”); her first aching, forbidden love for Weightman (Oliver Jackson-Cohen – “The Lost Daughter”, “The Haunting of Bly Manor”) and her care for her maverick brother (Fionn Whitehead – “The Duke”, “Dunkirk”) whom she idolises.

Frances O’Connor makes her directorial debut with “EMILY,” from her own original screenplay. The film also stars Adrian Dunbar (“Line of Duty”) and Gemma Jones (“Bridget Jones’s Baby”, “Gentleman Jack”).

    I remember this popular guy in my English class in high school saying he hated reading Wuthering Heights because it was just some dumb romance for girls and I'll never forget the (male) teacher going on this whole spiel about Bronte's genius and that this kid had completely missed one of the best revenge stories ever written because he was too busy being sexist to bother paying attention. It was the first time I saw a man openly and unapologetically defend a woman's art. I'm in my forties now and I still remember that. He was one of the coolest teachers I ever had.

    the way emma mackey knows how to portray every character she plays perfectly. she just gets into the atmosphere and tries her best to perform and she manages to do that. one of the reasons she is one of my favourite actresses.
  • @javapunto
    Emma Mackey must be one of the most talented actress of her generation. I can't wait to watch her as Emily
  • I can't wait to see all the Brontë sisters on screen, especially Emily. All three sisters were incredible novelists, and it's such a shame that society at the time condemned women writing stories, instead expecting them to be housewives and mothers. Like many female writers at the time, they had their works published under male names so they wouldn't have scandal and controversy at their doorstep. It's very tragic that all three sisters died young; I felt that Emily's death was the worst of all. I wish they lived long enough to see their works become literary masterpieces.
  • i actually and genuinly believe that Emma Mackey is perfect for this role, rare are the times where i feel such strong connexion with the way a character (especially a historical figure!) is portrayed in movies, i'm so excited to watch this

    I deeply hope this is good and worthy of Emily Bronte. Wuthering Heights is one of the most gripping books I have ever read.
  • Every loner and introvert when reading about Emily cannot help but say " I understand exactly why she thought/ did that" what a total one off she was.❤️❤️
  • @perdm91
    Actually very sad to know that all these great creators had such a difficult life, because of their unique thoughts. And only after they have passed away, are appreciated and known as legends
  • @Xavierpng
    "Everyone's strange if you look at them long enough" must be my fav lines out of the entire trailer.
  • @kRisKa0wns
    The score went absolutely PERFECT with the cinematography in this trailer. Acting looks sublime, the way she can fit perfectly into ANY role she plays is just phenomenal. Stunning video editing and casting direction. The overhead shots look amazing and vivid.
  • The scene of them shouting 'freedom in thought' really reminds me of that Anne with an E scene with Anne and Cole standing at the edge of a cliff shouting 'come to me muse!' Or that one scene from The Book Thief where Liesel and Rudy are standing at a lake in the middle of the woods shouting 'I hate Hitler!'
    These scenes are gold! 😍 And this looks so thrilling and amazing! 🧡
  • Why do I get the feeling from this that they're making her out to be a genius and a free spirit by putting down her brilliant sisters? Why do they think there can there only be one "special one"?

    "Everyone's strange if you look at them long enough!"
    Couldn't have been said better. This sentence just hits different.
  • The feeling of being a Misfit is definitely a creative journey , Im glad she never gave up otherwise we wouldn't of had her amazing stories

    Hmmm I don’t know about this film. It doesn’t seem very true to many of the things I’ve read about Emily Brontë. I think the relationship between the three sisters (and their father and Branwell) is fascinating enough without making it a romance (and as far as we know, Emily didn’t HAVE any romances!)
  • @Teatime25
    I hate this already. Emily Brontë was a genius partly because she had literally no real life experience to inspire even one word of Wuthering Heights - it was pure intellect and imagination. And if we go down that route of shaping WH as some kind of tragic romance again I’ll cry. It just isn’t that. It’s about nature v nurture, the trauma and cycle of abuse, the tension between the natural state of childhood with its goodness and innocence but also its cruelty and selfishness and the falsity but more civilised conformity to the social norms of adulthood and I could go on and on… If she had been a man we wouldn’t keep framing it as a love story. when she was thought to be a man, people didn’t. They were disturbed by it but also recognised it as a work of massive psychological insight. The more interesting story to me is not of a totally imagined passion to make this woman more understandable and relatable and that will make her spin in her grave, but how did someone so anti-social, so completely disengaged with everything and everyone outside of her home, come up with all of that…?
  • @aeolia80
    So I'm under the impression that Emily Bronte was an introverted homebody that had a lot of social anxiety but loved her family, kinda like Beth in Little Women, even died young too, I really wonder how this movie os gonna portray this literary figure
  • @senna9449
    Such an amazing cast! Can’t wait to see Anne Brontë on screen 🧡
  • @meee693
    I always get nervous when I see biopics about authors, especially female ones. So often these kinds of movies attribute all the authors' fantastic ideas to some guy that did them wrong or some boy who died tragically, etc. rather than just acknowledging that a woman can write for the sake of their love of writing and their own imagination. Hope this one does the Brontes justice!
