Nia DaCosta Brings a Bold New Vision to Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler

Acclaimed filmmaker Nia DaCosta (Candyman, The Marvels) is set to deliver a daring reimagining of Henrik Ibsen’s classic play Hedda Gabler. Simply titled Hedda, the film stars Tessa Thompson in the title role, leading a powerhouse ensemble that includes Imogen Poots, Tom Bateman, Nicholas Pinnock, and Nina Hoss.

Hedda opens in select theaters on October 22 and will be available globally on Prime Video...
