As I'd imagine any higher-up executive at one of the biggest or best streaming services on the planet could tell you, it's not easy to find new material for movies and shows. We're in an era when countless numbers of people are keener than ever before on the franchises they already know and love, and remakes of movies that aren't even that old are becoming more common.
If it's tough to find new scripts, then, it might make sense that some people are turning to a different approach – adapting existing, extremely influential and successful scripts, but from the world of theatre. Case in point: Amazon Prime Video's new movie, Hedda, which adapts one of Ibsen's great plays for the silver screen.
