Owen Cooper lands role in Wuthering Heights adaptation

Owen Cooper, the rising teenager from Netflix's hit show Adolescence, has exciting news about his next project. He will star in a new film adaptation of Wuthering Heights directed by Emerald Fennell. Cooper gained fame for his role as Jamie Miller, a schoolboy accused of murder, in Adolescence. In Wuthering Heights, he is set to play a younger version of Heathcliff, who will be portrayed by Jacob Elordi. The film also features Margot Robbie as the famous character Catherine Earnshaw. In a recent interview, Owen shared that filming for the new project is going well. He expressed his enthusiasm, saying, "I've really enjoyed it." He noted that the filming style is different from Adolescence, but he is adapting well. He also mentioned that he enjoys chatting with co-stars Elordi and Robbie while they get their makeup done. Owen's connection with co-star Stephen Graham played a significant role in securing this new role. Graham recommended Owen's agent, which has proven to be beneficial for the young actor. In Adolescence, Stephen Graham plays Eddie Miller, Jamie's father, who must face the shocking accusations against his son alongside police scrutiny. The show is directed by Philip Barantini, known for his unique one-take filming style in their previous collaboration, Boiling Point.
