EmmaMackey, Alexandra Dowling (alishelson) and Amelia Gething tell us all about the Brontë sister dynamic in 'Emily.'
You’re likely well aware of the classic Wuthering Heights, but what about the voice behind the iconic 1847 novel? That’s exactly what Frances O’Connor digs into in her feature directorial debut, Emily, starring Emma Mackey as Wuthering Heights author, Emily Brontë.
Mackey’s been making a huge impression via Sex Education ever since the show first debuted in 2019, but now it’s becoming quite clear that she’s eager to make the most of her time between seasons. She's a standout in Kenneth Branagh’s star-studded Death on the Nile, she’s truly exceptional in Emily, and next up is the highly anticipated Barbie movie starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling.
“There was very much a sense of Emily being this kind of rebel or this difficult character, [that] was something Charlotte found very difficult because she was much more concerned about how other people saw her whereas Emily just didn't care. She was just fine with being a weirdo. [Laughs] So it was kind of that thing of being able to balance the kind of love and care and the protectiveness with the judgment and the frustration.
While Anne’s efforts do strengthen the family dynamic at times, Emily also addresses the fact that, no matter how close one thinks they are to their siblings, there could be hidden corners of their world. In this particular case, that often begs the question, how well do the Brontës really know each other? While discussing character qualities the cast couldn’t fully tap into until they hit set, Dowling highlighted Charlotte’s eagerness to truly know Emily.
"I love it. I didn't feel stuck. I feel like a lot of time with marks or with lighting, sometimes you go onto a set and everything is done for you and you just need to stand in a certain place. Here, a lot of the time, we kind of just got to feel it out and figure out where we wanted to be and what we wanted to do, and often because we're using natural light in a lot of it and we're outdoors a lot.
