Susan Sarandon says she is still losing film opportunities because of her public support for Palestine. Speaking at a press conference at the Venice Film Festival on Sunday, she said she has “still had movies taken away recently,” despite what she described as shifts in the broader conversation around U.S. policy related to Israel.
Sarandon said the impact comes from actions within the industry, including agencies that discourage hiring. She also suggested that, in Hollywood, strongly held views among some decision-makers toward her position have not eased. She linked this to ongoing barriers she faces while promoting her new film, “The Echo Chamber.”
Across outlets, the reports align on her central claim—recently lost roles tied to her Palestine advocacy—and her remarks that some industry contacts and agencies are influencing whether she is hired. The coverage focuses on the same comments made in Venice, with outlets differing mainly in emphasis and wording, rather than the core substance of her account.
