Tessa Thompson stars in Nia DaCosta’s Hedda

The horn of the meeting is blowing! They small forest Star Tessa Thompson and Nia DaCosta’s team have reunited for a new film. And is it intoxicating, or rather Heddy? – as Thompson takes the helm from DaCosta heda.

Adapted from DaCosta, the Hollywood reporter I hear the film will be a visceral and epic retelling of Henrik Ibsen’s famous 1891 play. Hedda Gabler describes the experiences of the main character, Hedda, a general’s daughter, who is trapped in a marriage and a home she doesn’t want. Although she opened to negative reviews, she has enjoyed great success and the title role is considered one of the best for a woman in theatre.

She was also successful in other media: Ingrid Bergman starred in a BBC television production in 1962, while Trevor Nunn’s 1975 film, also titled heda – earned Glenda Jackson an Academy Award nomination for lead actress.

We can only assume that DaCosta and Thompson will dig deeper into the levels to find something new to say throughout the story. Both have seen their careers soar since 2018. small forest and both ended up working in the MCU – Thompson as a Valkyrie in Taika Waititi thor films and elsewhere, and the DaCosta production wondersthey just put a trailer online.
