At Venice, Susan Sarandon says she’s still had movies taken away because agencies have told people not to hire her for her Palestine advocacy, while praising director Andrea Pallaoro for hiring her in The Echo Chamber despite warnings and noting shifting public sentiment alongside ongoing industry resistance.
At a Venice Film Festival press conference for Andrea Pallaoro’s The Echo Chamber, Susan Sarandon says she’s still losing big Hollywood roles because of her public support for Palestine, with agencies reportedly telling studios not to hire her, though she says international audiences welcome her. The Echo Chamber stars Sarandon opposite Luca Marinelli and Alicia Vikander. Her activism previously led to her being dropped by an agency in 2023, and the remarks come amid ongoing Hollywood debates over Israel–Palestine issues and related political gestures at Venice.
