Ryan penned eighteen songs based on the novel and is currently working on a screenplay for theatrical release.

The Wuthering Heights Music website offers a promotional stream featuring four songs with narration by Ray Winstone and a video for "Women" directed by Mark Ryan.

"I am excited to have Wuthering Heights Music available on iTunes," said Mark Ryan. "With so much online support of the project, it is the perfect place to target our audience and extend our reach to new listeners."

Growing up amongst the hauntingly romantic landscapes of Yorkshire, Ryan developed an emotional connection to the story of Wuthering Heights, inspiring him to write eighteen original songs. The project was put on hold for Ryan's burgeoning film and television career, and with the success of Transformers (Ryan voices Bumblebee), he decided it was finally the right time to record the music. Fans of Ryan, from his early days on Robin of Sherwood to his young Transformers fans, have embraced the new project and helped to support it online.
