It has been confirmed that the 25-year old actress will be starring in the movie adaptation of Bronte’s novel “Wuthering Heights” playing the role of Catherine Earnshaw.

With her English accent polished with roles from her previous movie endeavours Closer and The Other Boleyn Girl, Portman is now ready to take on the Yorkshire dialect for her role as the headstrong heroine in the movie classic.

Film director John Maybury will be directing the movie and he believes that Portman is without a doubt one of the most acclaimed actresses of our time. And teaming up with Maybury will result in a fresh, exciting version of a classic love story.
