Women’s Wear Daily has recently chatted to Kaya about Wuthering Heights, and the emergence of new roles. Check out the photoshoot and interview below:
By starring in director Andrea Arnold’s adaptation of “Wuthering Heights,” Kaya Scodelario is the latest in a long line of British ingénues to earn her spurs in a period drama.
But the 19-year-old Londoner doesn’t channel the delicate turns of phrase and genteel manners that the genre is known for. Instead, Scodelario gives an emotionally raw performance as Catherine Earnshaw in Arnold’s earthy, rough-hewn adaptation of Emily Bronte’s classic novel. The film, which gets its U.S. premiere this weekend at the Sundance Film Festival, earned much buzz when it premiered in Europe at the Venice Film Festival late last year, with Britain’s Daily Telegraph noting that Scodelario “crackles with flirtatious petulance” in the role.
The filmmakers of Twenty8k have been keeping a film diary, noting each day on set. Today, they have updated with a bunch of new posts and new photos, including of Kaya as Sally. If you are interested in keeping up with their blog, you can read it here.
Kaya’s birthday is coming up in March, and our friends at Oh Scodelario are putting together a birthday project for her. The graphic below will inform you on how you can contribute, or you can check out the project’s site here.
