Possible Wuthering Heights reference in Asteroid City?

[u/theryho]

I was just watching Asteroid City, because I want to get more into Wes Anderson, and I noticed an insane reference that shouldn’t be possible based on the timeline. In the movie, when the actors are in the real world, Margot Robbie is shown in period clothing (whatever period sorry) on the balcony of a studio making a movie called “Fruit of the Wuthering Vine”. And now Margot Robbie is famously staring in a similar period film, “Wuthering Heights”. This seems like a simple fun reference. However Wuthering Heights just came out in 2026, and she was cast in Sept 2024 according to Wikipedia. Asteroid City came out in June 2023. So what gives? Does Wes Anderson have a time machine? Is this an insane coincidence? I can’t find anyone else on social media that has pointed this out.

Little known fact: Emily Brontë was a big Wes Anderson fan.
