Described by writer-director Frances O’Connor because the story of “a reclusive artist [who] struggles to become her true self,” “Emily” explores the inspiration behind an iconic Gothic novel. “How did you write ‘Wuthering Heights?’” Emily Brontë (Emma Mackey, “Sex Education”) is requested in a brand new trailer for the revisionist biopic.
“I have lots of stories,” Emily says. The trailer means that not everyone seems to be in what she has to say. Her work is described as “ugly” and she’s warned not to “bring shame” to her household.
“Emily Bronte has always been a touchstone for me in my life. She was someone who was so authentically herself and I wanted to tell a story that would bring her into consciousness for young women now,” O’Connor instructed us.
“Emily” marks O’Connor’s characteristic debut. The actress’ on-screen credit embody “Mansfield Park” and “The Conjuring 2.”
You can catch “Emily” in theaters February 17.
