Keira Knightley Lindsay Lohan “Wuthering Heights” Movie: Lindsay Lohan Keira Knightley Battle For Catherine Earnshaw Role “Wuthering Heights”
Lindsay Lohan and Keira Knightley are set to battle it out for the lead role of romantic heroine Catherine Earnshaw in a new film adaptation of Emily Bronte’s 1847 novel Wuthering Heights.
Director John Maybury says: “I certainly wouldn’t count Keira out but it’s whether or not she wants to get back into period costume, because she’s been in a few period dramas. I don’t count Lindsay Lohan out either. I really believe in the girl and she’s coming out from the other side of her well documented problems - she just needs to be treated seriously.”

Cathy- Lindsey Lohan
Heathcliff- Christian Bale
Lindsey Lohan would fit perfectly as Cathy. This might seem to be an odd pick, in light of her very public and notorious escapades, however, she seems to embody many of the character traits of the Cathy Earnshaw we all know and love. This traits are such things as wildness and selfishness.
Christian Bale is a good choice for Heathcliff because of his ability to take on very dark characters. He would be able to embody the evil and twisted character of Heathcliff very well.

i think Keira would be better as Cathy because she’s such a great actress, however i think Lindsay’s portrayal would be a lot more interesting and it would be great for her to show what she can do. After all, she should be known for her talent as an actress and not her wild behaviour.
i heard something about Johnny Depp being involved in this film and George Clooney. Anyone else heard anything about this? i’d love them to be involved, they’re both gorgeous and incredibly gifted actors.

I was just wondering….are they slightly mental? After reading this incredibly well written book, the best piece of classical literature ever, I cannot believe they are going to choose between Keira Knightley and Lindsay Lohan. Keira Knightley has none of the fiesty or fiery qualities that Cathy does and Lindsay Lohan barely has a lick of sense. Neither could play Cathy and I’m fairly sure that Emily Bronte herself would be very disappointed in the choice of women to play this character. Someone like Madeleine Stowe would be fantastic as she showed herself to be in The Last of the Mohicans in 1992. Juliet Binoche did Cathy justice….why is everyone settling for Keira, who is always an actress for the classical stories (we need some variation please) or Lindsay, who is a future teeny bopper?

Ummm Belle - you’re forgetting one key fact….Catherine is supposed to be young. Neither Madeleine Stowe nor Juliet Binoche could play the part. Clearly you haven’t seen Kiera Knightley in anything. She is a great actress. I don’t see how anyone would even consider Lindsay for a serious role.
