Wuthering Heights Remake on MTV...

[aims]

In August...

"Roswell star Katherine Heigl and Traffic's Erika Christensen do for the Emily Bronte classic what Leo and Claire did with Willy Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet."~from eonline

Love both of those actresses! Should be good!

[Myra's Girls]

hmmm... but I hated Wuthering Heights with a passion. That book rubbed me the wrong way- I couldn't get through it it made me so angry. But I was an emotion filled teenager then :p, maybe I might re-visit the story.

i'm watching it for Katherine. yum.

and even though i didn't like the book, i liked the 1939 and 1992 movie versions of it. merle oberon was drop dead gorgeous. and juliette binoche is soo pretty. my shallowness prevails!

[aims]

i agree about the book, but both those actress....for me, they'll be enough...

[QueenElizabeth]

So who will they be? I assume Catherine and um, Catherine then? Which will be which?? And who will play that nutjob Heathcliff?

[aims]

Actually, it's the opposite. From IMDB.com...

Erika Christensen .... Catherine Earnshaw
Katherine Heigl .... Isabella Linton
Mike Vogel .... Heathcliff

[Alannah Rose Selene]

Oh girl, you're busted again!

[aims]

[Karen]

Oh girl, you're busted again!

crap i never know what that means till i come back to the page later, cuz they show up fine for me at first.

i didn't even know those pics came fromo the same outlawed source. i need a place to stick em. but believe me, they're hot. one is the in between the hanging blankets with the beads down her back and the other is one of the brown shirt pictures. you can just copy the link location and open in a new page, then refresh and then you should see the hotness of kh.

[Alannah Rose Selene]

alannah!!!~ your first pic was the one i was actually looking for! i love that pic. it's the best out of the maxim series i think!!!
Yeah, it's definitely one of my favourites! I have quite the KH collection on my hard drive... ;) Yum!

[aims]

same thing happened to me, karen...in the orlando bloom thread. so disappointing...

and, yeah~alannah~she's too gorgeous. i love that she's all curvy and still so beautiful.

[Alannah Rose Selene]

and, yeah~alannah~she's too gorgeous. i love that she's all curvy and still so beautiful.

Oooh--GO Karen! ;k

[Karen]

i think maybe it should be illegal to be that hot. ;L

i'm sorry what was this thread about? :p

is wuthering heights like required reading at some point, cuz i've never read it, and don't have the slightest clue what its about or who wrote it or when. how's that for an english grad student. :D

[Alannah Rose Selene]

i think maybe it should be illegal to be that hot. ;L
Well, technically, yes, but if it were then we wouldn't get to see the goodness that is Katherine!

i'm sorry what was this thread about? :p
Ha ha~ it was about hotness, right? ;l

Yeah, we never had to read Wuthering Heights in any of my classes either. I think there are so many different selections for English teachers to choose...I mean, I know plenty of people who never had to read 1984, Catcher in the Rye, The Great Gatsby, The Grapes of Wrath...which are all totally essential in my mind, but then I never read WH or Ulysees, or The Illiad. So I guess it's like purely random.

/end o/t literature talk

[Leina Rose]

i'm sure this mtv adaptation will kinda be faithful to the book. kinda.

gawddd, kh goodness. mmmmmm........

[aims]

wow~ she is definitely my idea of perfection!

what in the hell was this thread about... ;)

august...just have to wait until august!!!

[Alannah Rose Selene]

Okay, tvguide.com says that Aimee Osbourne is going to be in this too? What the? Should be amusing if nothing else!

[1500]

So does it say when it will be on?

[Karen]

who is aimee osbourne?

[Alannah Rose Selene]

She's one of Sharon and Ozzy's daughters. She's refused to be on the MTV show so it's interesting that she wants to act!

[Karen]

that's what i thought, but i figured it couldn't be her, cuz why would she want to be acting if she didn't want her face on the show? wtf. crazy osbournes.

[Alannah Rose Selene]

Who knows? Maybe she doesn't want to be a part of that circus but wants a separate career in tv. ;l

[Karen]

yeah, and coincidence that its an mtv production....hmmm...

btw, i think this thread needs some more kh hotness, and being the great humanitarian that i am...

[Alannah Rose Selene]

[1500]

My husband always said that everyone has gay tendancies!

[Alannah Rose Selene]

I'll say! Some more than others. ;)

[1500]

So who are your faves Alannah...beside miss Valandra!

[Alannah Rose Selene]

Oh geez, you don't want to get me started! Gillian Anderson, first and foremost, Vivica A. Fox, Kelly Konno, Jennifer Garner... so many more! I'll spare everyone though...I don't want to make this totally O/T!

[1500]

Wuthering heights is going to be a good movie don't ya all think..... now back to the topic at hand...go on Alannah! LOL!

[Alannah Rose Selene]

Geri Halliwell, Kylie Minogue, Eliza Dushku, Margaret Cho, Natalie Portman, Drew Barrymore, Janet Jackson, Kirsten Dunst, Anna Pacquin, Amber Benson, Claire Kramer...oh my gah there are just too many!

MTV's Musical Version of "Wuthering Heights," With Jim Steinman Songs, to Air in September

By Ernio Hernandez

The new MTV musical adaptation of Emily Bronte's novel, "Wuthering Heights," featuring the music of Dance of the Vampires and "Bat Out of Hell" composer Jim Steinman, will air in September, the cable network announced July 8.

Shooting for the "music-driven tale" was completed (in Puerto Rico) in May. Steinman also serves as executive producer for the upcoming MTV release.

Following up their updated hip-hop musical version of "Carmen" (which starred Destiny's Child singer Beyoncé Knowles), MTV gives the Bronte classic a modern take. Young film and television stars Erika Christensen ("Traffic"), Mike Vogel ("Grounded for Life"), Chris Masterson ("Malcolm in the Middle"), Katherine Heigl ("Roswell") and Johnny Whitworth ("Empire Records") are set to star.

Suri Krishnamma directs the work written by Max Enscoe and Annie de Young. MTV Original Movies vice president Maggie Malina will serve as executive in charge of production. Malina stated, "We have a tremendous cast of established talent along with some new fresh faces who we are confident are poised to be the stars of tomorrow."

MTV's "Wuthering Heights" will retell the story of siblings Cate (Christensen) and Hendrix (Whitworth) who live with their nonconformist father in an old lighthouse known as "The Heights." The family unit is disrupted when father Earnshaw takes in a homeless musical talent Heath (Vogel).

The Bronte tale has undergone musicalization previously in the John Farrar-Tim Rice musical Heathcliff, the Bernard J. Taylor musical Wuthering Heights as well as Bernard Herrmann's opera with the same name.

Composer Steinman is best known for his epic rock songs including Meatloaf's "Bat Out of Hell" album, Air Supply's "Making Love Out of Nothing at All," Celine Dion's "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" and Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart," which was featured in last season's short-lived musical Dance of the Vampires.

[1500]

I read this book soooooooo long ago. I need to dig it out again and start reading it.
(my reading list is full)

I have to say I have not been to impressed with the MTV original movies... sort of overdone, trying to make them hip and failing miserably.

I guess we'll see.

[Alannah Rose Selene]

Honestly, I don't think I've ever watched an MTV original movie! So if I manage to catch this one it'll be a first. I really do want to check it out though...just for the KH hotness if not for the actual story!

[1500]

yeah... I think the only original movie I saw and I didn't even see all of it because it was dumb... was That stupid Rock opera with Beyonce.

I think I may have even seen a monkees movie too.

[Leina Rose]

jim steinman is the shizznit. i wonder if the actors will be doing their own singing. probably not....

but Katherine, oh Katherine! :)

and there was a monkees movie. my fave scene in that was how they got high on pot to get inspiration for that movie they were writing. hahahaha

[Alannah Rose Selene]

Have you all been seeing the ads on MTV lately? I think I can just barely catch Katherine in the one I've seen. She doesn't seem to be the star. ;l

I think they said it airs Sept. 14th...if it didn't already say that somewhere earlier in this thread.

[1500]

I thought she was going to be the main character...oh well!

[aims]

alannah ~ i think i've seen the same one you've seen. during the vma's. looks great! but, yeah, only a brief shot of KH.

lotus ~ i do think she's still a main character though. she must just not be in the ad very much.

chris masterson seems to have a bigger role than first anticipated...if we're going by advert screen time. *shrug* hmmm...looks pretty good though!!!

two sundays from yesterday!!!!

[Alannah Rose Selene]

Yeah, I did actually see another, slightly longer commercial the other day and there was a teeny bit more of Katherine in that one. Woo! I just know I'm going to forget to watch this though. I should write it down!

[Karen]

when is it supposed to be on? i never watch mtv, so i haven't seen any adverts.

[Alannah Rose Selene]

Sept. 14th.

[delicious dish]

I am going to be in Houston that weekend, so I hope I remember to record it.

[Alannah Rose Selene]

Oh my GAH, I just saw a pseudo mini-video/commercial for it and it was pretty funny. Plus, the song they were singing is a cheesy cover of the Sisters of Mercy song "More". ;l Katherine looked good though, for the tiny bits they showed her in. I'm getting a bit scared of this show!

[Karen]

i can never bring myself to watch mtv for more than two minutes at a time, so i've yet to see a promo for this. i just know i'm gonna forget to watch it anyway...

[Alannah Rose Selene]

Some info here:
http://www.mtv.com/onair/wuthering_heights/

Oh my gosh, KH is playing another 'Isabel' in this movie! ;l

[Alannah Rose Selene]

I just saw an ad where it looked like Katherine was soaping down the main girl! ;L

Don't forget to watch tomorrow night!

[Alannah Rose Selene]

Meh. It was okay. Not as bad as I'd thought but anyone who didn't see it didn't miss much.

[1500]

Oh man I forgot to watch!!

[Karen]

i recorded it. i may as well watch it now...i guess.

[Alannah Rose Selene]

Don't worry, Lotus--you'll have another 100000000000 chances to watch it. Oh--and they showed it with only one tiny break in about 3/4 of the way through. I was surprised.

[Karen]

i was surprised at the lack of commercials. it was better than i thought too...but you know...still pretty bad. way too underdeveloped...and it didn't make a lot of sense. i don't know the original story either. pretty scenery.

but yo. katherine is SO skinny!

[Alannah Rose Selene]

Yeah, she is skinny. And what's up with the "Katherine M. Heigle"?

[aims]

i had to record it. i'm hoping to watch it tonight.

[Karen]

Yeah, she is skinny. And what's up with the "Katherine M. Heigle"?

i dunno...maybe she's trying to distance herself from former roles? maybe she thinks it sounds more sophisticated or something....
