For some lucky American moviegoers, hedda It is now screening in select theaters. For everyone else, the new movie is coming to Prime Video on October 29, and there may be another movie on the streaming service that reminds you of it.
Based on Ibsen’s famous play of the same name, director Nia DaCosta transforms a story we’ve heard countless times into something new, prompting us to ask entirely new questions. Over the course of one night at a raucous mansion party, there are deceptions, a love triangle, and inappropriate power dynamics at play.
Hedda cast ‘never thought of parallels’ to Saltburn during filming, but they talked about it
Look
“No. Just because they’re so different,” star Tom Bateman, who plays George Tesman, tells me when I ask him if salty burn–hedda The headlines are fair.
“I mean, the only thing I see similar is a big party that takes place in a stately home. It’s kind of aesthetically similar in that sense. Maybe there is, because of the tensions and complexities between people, the secrets, any relationships and the manipulation that controls other people.”
Nicholas Pinnock, who plays Judge Roland, chimes in: “It’s funny, because I think when we were filming this, we talked about salty burn quite a bit, because it had come out while we were filming. We talk about certain moments. I guess I’ve strangely never thought about the parallel beyond that.”
I can’t say it’s surprising that salty burn It was mentioned, given the water cooler effect it had. But here’s where they differ: salty burnThe party scene was a brief but completely chaotic frivolity, indulging in pure hedonism until it collided head-on with a life-changing disaster.
In the case of heddaThe party is everything… and I mean everything. It is the reason the story exists in the first place and serves as a battleground for calculated and restrained sabotage. Hedda (Tessa Thompson) throws the party to get George the promotion he wants, but decides to make life harder for the others in the process.
It’s a fascinating watch and you can stream Hedda and Saltburn back to back to see if you agree with me. But the cast’s last words?
“Believe [Hedda] It’s a testament to how rich and confident the piece is, to what Nia has done and what everyone felt doing it. “We felt very confident in what was being created.”
