E456: Anthony Willis: Scoring Wuthering Heights

About this episode

Anthony Willis discusses his work on the score for Wuthering Heights and his collaboration with Emerald Fennel.

After the huge success of Promising Young Woman and Saltburn, director Emerald Fennel called upon British-born, L.A.-based composer Anthony Willis to work with her a third time for her adaptation of Wuthering Heights, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi. Willis speaks to Headliner about how he worked on the score alongside the Charli XCX album of new songs for the film, how he and Fennel approached this new adaptation, and *that* viral Sophie Ellis-Bextor moment in Saltburn.
