British helmer Andrea Arnold has signed on to direct Ecosse Films' adaptation of Emily Bronte's classic novel "Wuthering Heights." [WUTHT]
Move is a coup for producers Robert Bernstein, Douglas Rae and Kevin Loader, who have seen a number of cast and director changes.
Helmer Peter Webber ankled the project in December, while previously attached director John Maybury left last summer. The cast has also been on something of a merry-go-round, with Natalie Portman, Abbie Cornish and Gemma Arterton all attached at one point to play the iconic role of doomed lover Cathy.
