“Nothing can wrong tonight, Hedda. Nothing…” But it shall go wrong anyway! Prime Video finally reveals their official trailer for Hedda, the next new film from Nia DaCosta after she made Marvel’s The Marvels (and before she went on to direct 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple which is out next year). Adapted from the Henrik Ibsen play “Hedda Gabler“, DaCosta reinvents the story to tell it from a different angle. Hedda is a provocative, modern reimagining of this classic play. Tessa Thompson stars as the titular Hedda Gabler, who finds herself torn between the lingering ache of a past love and the quiet suffocation of her present life, including feelings for the provocative author Eileen Lovborg. Over the course of one charged night, long-repressed desires & hidden tensions erupt — pulling her and everyone else into a spiral of manipulation, passion, and betrayal. “Just a little chaos.” Starring Tessa Thompson, Imogen Poots, Tom Bateman, Nicholas Pinnock, and Nina Hoss. This looks quite good! A ravishing, passionate new take on this story. It will premiere at the 2025 Toronto Film Festival next month before it’s out for streaming later in October. // Continue Reading ›
