British actress Gemma Arterton has been cast as Cathy, after favourite Natalie Portman dropped the project. Peter Webber is set to direct. 


I'm a little surprised nobody suggested Westwick for Heathcliff — though at the time, most of the choices were skewing older. But some of the descriptions you offered — intense, "dirty-yet-sexy," emotionally strong — do seem like they could apply to the man behind Chuck Bass. Meanwhile, Arterton is a rising star in the UK who's played the title role in Tess of the D'Urbervilles and was Strawberry Fields in Quantum of Solace.
