Sparkhouse

This past week's Dream Cast Thursday was Wuthering Heights. It is a funny coincidence, because I just happened upon another adaption (to see the original post, click here). The adaptation that I saw is called Sparkhouse. It came out in 2002.

Although drepressing, this adaptation did something that I had never seen done before. It completely flipped the gender roles. Cathy became Andrew. Heathcliff became Carol. Edgar became Becky. Isabella became John. The cast was really good. Andrew was played by Joe McFadden, Carol was played by Sarah Smart, Becky was played by Camilla Power, and John was played by Richard Armitage. This film was really interesting and definitely a must-see!
