Uh oh. Rumblings from the foreign press on how we be bored and demand entertainment.
"First, MTV updated Carmen. Now, the cable music channel is offering a modern take on Wuthering Heights.
"Erika Christensen, who played a high school stalker in last year's Swimfan and a drug-addicted teen in 2000's Traffic, will star as Cate in a musical version of the Emily Bronte novel.
"Mike Vogel will play a homeless musician named Heath with whom Cate falls in love, and Chris Masterson (Malcolm in the Middle) will play Edward, whom Cate agrees to marry instead.
"Christensen, Vogel and Johnny Whitworth, as Cate's brother, Hendrix, will make their on-screen singing debuts in the film, which is scheduled to begin production in May in Puerto Rico, MTV said. It's set to air during the third quarter of this year.
"A previous MTV original film, Carmen: A Hip-Hopera, starred Beyonce Knowles of Destiny's Child in a contemporary version of the classic opera."
