Nia DaCosta & Hedda Cast Explain Key Change In Reimagining Of Classic Play

The film Hedda, starring Tessa Thompson, Imogen Poots, and Tom Bateman, has received strong praise from critics since its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. This marks Thompson’s first time working with director DaCosta since the film Little Woods. DaCosta’s fresh interpretation of the classic story is a key talking point, notably the decision to reimagine Hedda’s former lover, Eilert Lövborg, as a woman, played by Nina Hoss, known for her role in Jack Ryan.
