Netflix Launches ‘The People We Meet on Vacation’ on Jan. 9 – Emily Henry’s Praise, While Wuthering Heights and Nolan’s Odyssey Await Audiences

With winter’s chill, Netflix’s latest film adaptation of Emily Henry’s best-selling novel is set to warm screens on January 9, bringing a friends-to-lovers story to life.

Emily Henry’s Endorsement

“I was lucky enough to get to do some set visits, so I got to see it in real life and knew that it worked,” she told E! earlier this year. “But getting to actually see a cut of the movie, they’ve changed the characters in my head, which I think is the sign of a really great movie.”

Upcoming Releases: Wuthering Heights and Nolan’s Odyssey

Emerald Fennell is delivering her much-talked-about adaptation of Emily Brontë’s 1847 tragic love story “Wuthering Heights.” On Feb. 13, Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi portray Catherine and Heathcliff, with a moody, Charli XCX-infused trailer teasing the film.

Ben Affleck on Damon’s Transformation

As Affleck admitted on “New Heights” in April, “I was like, ‘The one time he got in shape!'” He also praised Damon’s work, saying, “It looks good!” and added, “It ain’t easy when you touch 50. You boys will see!”
