Exclusive: Hedda Cast Interviews with Nia DaCosta, Tessa Thompson, Nina Hoss and Tom Bateman
Now playing on Prime Video after hitting theaters is Hedda, directed by Nia DaCosta with a cast that includes Tessa Thompson, Imogen Poots, Tom Bateman, Nicholas Pinnock, and Nina Hoss.
The screenplay is also by Nia DaCosta, adapted from the play "Hedda Gabler" by Henrik Ibsen. Produced by Dede Gardner, Nia DaCosta, Jeremy Kleiner, Gabrielle Nadig, Tessa Thompson. The film premiered at the 2025 Toronto Film Festival.
Newly wed and precariously dissatisfied with life, Hedda (Tessa Thompson), gun-loving daughter of the late General Gabler, has just convinced her husband George (Tom Bateman), a timid but ambitious scholar, to throw a lavish party the couple cannot afford. On the teeming guest list is Eileen Lovborg (Nina Hoss), a celebrated author of a book exploring sexuality — and also George's key rival for a coveted academic post. Hedda sees the guests as pawns in an elaborate game she plans to orchestrate with ruthless precision.
