Controversial book adaptation shocks viewers with BDSM sex
Emerald Fennell's controversial adaptation of Wuthering Heights has been met with shock and labelled 'aggressively provocative' by initial audiences. Fennell's 2023 dark comedy Saltburn, starring Barry Keoghan and Jacob Elordi, caused quite the stir when it was released a couple of years ago. The film featured darkly erotic scenes and was praised for its severe sexual content and nudity, as well as its frequent depiction of violence and gore. Because of this huge success, the announcement that Fennell would be directing an adaptation of Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights was met with excitement – and concern from literary fans. The casting of Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie respectively as Heathcliff and Cathy, raised major eyebrows, and now it's been reported that an initial first screening of the unfinished film has left many shocked by the content of the period piece. World of Reel revealed that the adaptation included -among other shocking scenes – a nun fondling a corpse, BDSM, and sexualised slugs and egg yolks. Attendees have reported that the film includes 'hyper-sexualised imagery' with a 'grotesque' scene that sees a public hanging end with the condemned man ejaculating during the execution. This is followed up with some blasphemous necrophia from a nun who 'fondles the corpse's visible erection'. There are 'several masturbation scenes' that are 'purposefully discomforting' and a 'BDSM-tinged encounter' involving a woman being strapped into some horse reins. There are also some rather sexy textures, including 'egg yolks running through fingers', sliding slugs, and a bit of dirty dough kneading. Test screenings can often lead to major edits to the film, and with Fennell's film not set to be released until February 2026, who knows if any of this will make it to the final cut! The film has faced criticism for casting Elordi, yet another white actor to play Heathcliff, a famously non-white role that was written by Brontë. On one page of the original novel, Heathcliff is described as a 'dark-skinned gipsy in aspect', while another refers to his 'dusky fingers'. Characters debate his appearance to be of a 'Lascar' – a dated description meaning a sailor from India or Southeast Asia – or 'an American or Spanish castaway'. Casting director Kharmel Cochrane worked on the film and is one of the biggest names in her field in the UK, having previously worked on the likes of Nosferatu, Saltburn, Bob Marley: One Love. While at the Sands International Film Festival of St Andrews, she told Metro that she is very much aware of the abuse directed at her after her casting choices for the film. 'I have really had to hold back on Instagram after a glass of wine, because I think someone was like, 'The casting director should be shot',' she said. More Trending 'There's definitely going to be some English Lit fans that are not going to be happy.' She then added: 'Wait until you see the set design, because it's even more shocking. And there may or may not be a dog collar in it.' 'You can read anything into a book and make it your interpretation. And it's really easy to sit online and say things, but just wait until you've watched it, and then you can say – maybe not that I deserve to be shot – but you can say what you want!' Cochrane suggests. Got a story?

Oasis deliver mega Murrayfield set of iconic anthems on first night of Scots comeback shows
Gigs in Cardiff, London and Manchester over the last month have already been a huge success with fans old and new MAD FOR IT Oasis deliver mega Murrayfield set of iconic anthems on first night of Scots comeback shows SCOTLAND was swept up in a Champagne Supernova as Oasis mania rocked our capital tonight. Liam and Noel Gallagher kicked off the first of three massive gigs at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium — ending a 16-year wait for the return of the Be Here Now stars.

And the sun shi-i-i-i-nnned on 70,000 bucket-hatted punters heading to the gig — as beer flowed in pub gardens long before the stadium doors opened at 5pm. The Murrayfield Hotel, opposite the home of rugby, is renamed Oasisfield for the legions of fans. Among them were Sarah Mills, 31, from nearby Leith, with her sister Amber-Leigh Morgan, 25 and mum Jackie Morgan, 56. Advertisement Lash technician Sarah said: 'We're so excited, we've been looking forward to it loads. 'My parents went to the last Oasis gig here but they said I was too young to go then.' It's a long way to come but we love Oasis. We also love the beer so that's why we came to Scotland. It's a dream come true Matteo Domenicone Quantity surveyor Amber-Leigh, from Uphall, West Lothian, added: 'We paid £150 for standing tickets in the pre-sale so we were lucky. It's a great atmosphere already.' Mum Jackie, an office manager also from Uphall said: 'It's just great to see them back.' Advertisement Jamie Banks, 29, and his wife Jessica, 27, from Anniesland, Glasgow, were on the Guinness before midday. Jessica joked: 'It's never too early on a day like this.' Richard Ashcroft takes swipe at Edinburgh Council during Oasis gig Hubby Jamie added: 'It's been a year to wait until this day, but it's worth it. 'Hopefully they play Live Forever, that's my favourite tune.' Advertisement It's nearly a year since tickets for the band's UK tour sold out in minutes when they announced their long-awaited reunion. The 90s Britpop supergroup had an acrimonious split in 2009 and it was feared they would never play together live again. But 30 years on from their iconic (What's the Story) Morning Glory? album, Oasis are still as popular as ever. Gigs in Cardiff, London and Manchester over the last month have already been a huge success with fans old and new. Advertisement Pals Kerry Craig, 38, and Nicole Finnie, 42, spent six hours on a party bus travelling to Edinburgh from Cove, Aberdeen. And Kerry reckons being there eclipsed the thrill of her hometown footie club beating Celtic in the Scottish Cup Final in May. She added: 'I was at one of the Heaton Park gigs in Manchester in 2009 with my husband. We both agreed the gig was a better day than our wedding — they are that good.' Advertisement Nail technician Nicole said: 'I was at the Loch Lomond gig in 1996 with my dad, but I was only 13. The nostalgia is off the scale.' Fans from 'All Around the World' included Matteo Domenicone, 33, who flew in for an overnight from Rome with best pal Mirko Santantonio, 37. And the pair weren't looking back in anger at the £3,000 all-in cost for VIP tickets, flights, digs — and drink. Definitley maturer... but better than ever By Matt Bendoris IT took 16 years, one month and 22 days for Oasis to end their Scottish exile — but the crowd welcomed back the Gallaghers with open arms. Oasis last played north of the border right here at Murrayfield on June 17, 2009. Two months on, it looked like they'd split forever at the Paris Rock en Seine festival. But all that was water under a French bridge last night as they opened their set with Hello. Noel, 58, and Liam, 52, were met with a deafening roar from a sea of fans in bucket hats and shades. Next in the set was Acquiesce, which Noel wrote on a broken-down train to Wales. No doubt it would have struck a chord with the thousands who had to queue around the block just to jump a crowded ScotRail carriage to the gig and back. On and on, the Britpop icons rattled out the best of their best, mainly from their first two albums. There was Some Might Say, Cigarettes & Alcohol, Supersonic and Roll With It. It was as if the brothers were making up for lost time as they bombarded their fans with anthem after anthem. Other highlights included Little by Little, D'You Know What I Mean, Slide Away, Live Forever — and they completed their main set with Rock 'n' Roll Star. Of course, they weren't finished there as they returned for an encore with The Masterplan, Don't Look Back in Anger, Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova, which would have brought the roof down had there been one. Pyrotechnics lit up the night sky and illuminated the faces of gig-goers who had behaved impeccably with nothing but having a good time on their minds. If anything, this new, more mature version of Oasis sounded better than before. No doubt this concert will Live Forever in the memories of all 70,000 who attended. Matteo said: 'It's a long way to come but we love Oasis. We also love the beer so that's why we came to Scotland. It's a dream come true.' Advertisement Mirko added: 'It's a lot of money but it's a once-in-a-lifetime trip.' Outside the Murrayfield tram stop, piper Joel Rushton, 20, wowed watching fans with his tuneful takes on Don't Look Back in Anger and She's Electric. The student from Stirling entertained the early arrivals, with pal Ryan Fraser, 22, on guitar. Ryan said: 'We've been practising for a wee while to make sure we sound good.' Advertisement Some 210,000 revellers will gather across the three capital concerts, the second of which takes place tonight and the third on Tuesday. We told earlier this year how snooty Edinburgh Council bosses branded Oasis fans 'drunk, lairy, fat and old' in safety briefings ahead of the gigs. But there was no sign of trouble as fans of all ages made the pilgrimage, with many revellers in their 40s and 50s attending with their grown-up kids. We told how the gigs will provide a £136million economic boost.

Oasis Edinburgh Murrayfield first night in pictures as thousands take to capital
Oasis revellers have descended to Murrayfield stadium in Scotland's capital city for the first of three gigs. It's the day that Scots Oasis fans have been waiting for. The Manchester Britpop icons have taken to the Murrayfield stage tonight for the first of a three-night run series of gigs in the capital. The show marks the Gallagher brothers triumphant live return to the country that made them for the first time in 16 years. During the groundbreaking show, Liam Gallagher launched an attack at Edinburgh City Council. He utilised the moment alongside brother Noel on Murrayfield's stage to make an angry jibe. Reacting to claims by the Edinburgh City Council that fans were described as "old, raucous and overweight" the visibly angry singer paused the gig to tell fans: 'One second. Where will I start here with everyone in the city council sitting on their arses calling us slags. We're bringing a billion pounds to this city over the next three days but you won't see any of it because the LP is splitting it between posh f*****g mates.' Oasis last played in Scotland in June 2009 as part of their Dig Out Your Soul tour. Let's take a look at some snaps from the iconic gig on Friday night, August 9.
