Chuck Bass Does Bronte

Gossip Girl bad boy Ed Westwick, aka Chuck Bass, has been cast as the dark hero Heathcliff in the film adaptation of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights. How perfect is that! I haven't come across casting that appropriate for ages. Basically it won't be much of a stretch as Chuck Bass is a modern day Heathcliffe anyway. Natalie Portman was cast as Cathy but unfortunately has since dropped out. Abbie Cornish was up next but also dropped out - Cathy will now be played by Gemma Arterton who played the title role in Tess of the D'Urbervilles and was Strawberry Fields in Quantum of Solace. For those who watched 'Lost In Austin', you may recognise Gemma and she was also in 'The Boat That Rocked'!! Definitely someone to keep an eye on me thinks.

I have much higher hopes for this than Ed's housemates choice - 'Footloose'.
