Gillian Anderson says Sony exits its distribution deal for the film adaptation of “The Salt Path.” Anderson, who stars alongside Jason Isaacs, says the change follows a public controversy last summer over allegations that parts of the supposedly true story contained “fabrications.” She describes the moment as a “betrayal,” according to the outlets reporting her comments.
“The Salt Path” is based on a memoir by Ray and Moth Winn. The dispute has prompted renewed scrutiny of how faithfully the book’s account is portrayed as factual. Variety and The Independent both frame Anderson’s remarks as the first time the film’s lead actors address the controversy publicly in any sustained way, though the reports focus on different aspects of the surrounding discussion rather than on additional new film or company details.
