Filming British romance is all about location
Subtitles (196 segments)
If you're a fan of the new Wuthering Heights, this may look familiar to you.
I’m at the Old Gang Smelt Mill, part of Yorkshire Dales National Park,
one of the key filming locations for the new steamy adaptation of Wuthering Heights.
But director Emerald Fennell’s blockbuster take on this turbulent love saga
is just the latest of many adaptations.
And it’s having quite a moment.
This movie is messy and manic.
It is like 15th-century Mean Girls.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
I do.
Just bring a box of tissues.
People have been falling in love with British romance stories for centuries.
It’s full of those big juicy themes
like forbidden love, yearning, and class conflict.
Books like Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights
and the work of Jane Austen still fly off the shelves.
And they have been adapted for the big and small screen dozens of times.
British romance lets audiences escape
to a place of sweeping love stories and powerful emotions.
How do great filmmakers translate 19th-century writing into epic cinema?
It’s all about
location,
location,
location.
From endless fields to massive estates,
Britain plays a leading role in two of its biggest exports:
Wuthering Heights
and Pride and Prejudice.
I went on a journey across Britain’s Yorkshire and Midlands regions
to discover the famous filming spots
that whisk away audiences into the worlds of these romantic classics.
So sit back and pop some popcorn
while we raise the curtain on these iconic British film locations.
Before we go any further,
I want to mention this video is presented by Great Britain.
Britain has been the star of countless stories,
from classic novels to modern films.
Its inspirational landscapes, rugged coastline,
and bustling cities all have rich tales to tell.
A grand estate isn't just impressive architecture.
