Rising star Odessa A’ziondramatically exited A24’s upcoming adaptation of the novel Deep Cuts, just two days after her casting was made public.
The 25-year-old actress, who is the daughter of actress Pamela Adlon and director Felix Adlon, was cast as Zoe Gutierrez, a character in Holly Brickley’s 2025 book who is described as half-Mexican and half-Jewish. Fans of the book and of A’zion, who is Jewish but not Mexican, said they were disappointed she was chosen for the part and asked whether the part would be rewritten.
The actress, who had a breakout role in this year’s Oscar contender Marty Supreme, said she took her followers’ criticism of her casting seriously and that she is exiting the film. “Guys!! I am with ALL of you and I am not doing this movie,” she wrote on Instagram.
