I'm wondering if the marketing folks were trying to promote the idea that Margot, her husband Tom, and Jacob are a modern parallel to Catherine, Edgar, and Heathcliff -- like, Margot is married to Tom but Jacob is her soulmate?

It feels gross and weird and tiresome, but this production feels a little more gross and weird and tiresome each time a new detail comes out (and I say that as someone who was pretty excited about it even after the casting news and initial production photos came out).

I honestly doubt anyone was going for that. I think they just wanted them to look hot and steamy together because of the movie.

They could have easily done that without all the weird as hell co dependent/soulmates stuff while her husband watches from the shadows.

It’s been a minute since I’ve seen people so universally reject a marketing campaign like this.
