We're now just days away from the release of Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights adaptation - and more intriguing details are emerging.
Billed as a modernised take on Emily Brontë's 1847 English classic, the movie, which will hit cinemas on 13 February, follows Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as star-crossed lovers Cathy and Heathcliff.
Ever since the trailer was released and it was unveiled that Charli XCX is behind the soundtrack, it's safe to say people have had mixed opinions.
Many fans of the book have expressed anger at the casting choices, as well it straying from the original story, however, others have embraced the differences and are well up for a scandalous and steamy movie, rather than something that's accurate to the text.

From Elordi's Yorkshire accent, yes, we're obsessed, to that X-rated 'fish-fingering' scene, the internet has been delving into every glimpse of the film we've been given so far.
In January, fans were treated to a sneak peek of the sets in Architectural Digest, which are as lavish, dreamlike and weird as you'd imagine, coming from the director of Saltburn.
Production designer Suzie Davies told the publication: "You can never really have enough with Emerald, and that’s the joy of working with a director like that. She has such a strong style."
She explained that there are a number of haunting and canny human-like features enveloped into the design, including plaster hands that have been made from molds of the hands of the film crew to be used as candleholders everywhere you can imagine.
Davies said: "They’re quite a gothic symbol. It was about [the characters] having their hands on everything. And it’s just that subconscious feeling for the audience, the uneasiness of what those hands are up to. It’s just playing on that sensuality and sexuality of the characters’ love story."
But what really takes the cake for being the most bizarre design element is Cathy's 'skin room' - yes, you read that correctly.
The walls of Catherine’s bedroom at Thrushcross Grange are skin-matched to Margot Robbie, moles and veins n'all.
To make this happen, Davies printed a photo of Robbie's arm directly onto the pieces of fabric and covered them in latex to create wall panels.
And that's not all - the curtains you see at the end of the bed also contain hair matching Margot's colour and style.
Set decorator Charlotte Dirickx told the publication: "In that final top shot [of the film], you can see her veins on the carpet too."
Reacting to the eerie detail, one Reddit user wrote: "Apparently there is a bedroom set in the new Wuthering Heights movie decorated in Margot Robbie's skin."
A second said: "The skin wall makes me uncomfortable."
While a third joked: "Heathcliff is probably gonna be on his hands and knees licking it or something knowing Emerald Fennel."
Another declared: "I DON'T WANNA SEE JACOB ELORDI IN THE MARGOT ROBBIE SKIN ROOM."
