From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Having previously worked with acting greats like Leonardo DiCaprio, Heath Ledger, Tom Hardy and Matthew McConaughey, Christopher Nolan’s latest casting is…One Direction member Harry Styles.
The singer has been offered a role in the Interstellar director’s new World War II film, Dunkirk, ‘multiple sources’ told Deadline (who are usually right about these things).
Styles’ role is thought not to be a leading one, though his presence in the movie will still surely annoy many Nolan fans.
The move would make sense for Styles, who doesn’t have a lot else going on at the moment what with One Direction being on hiatus.
He has been offered film roles in the past, including one in The Weinstein Company’s Tulip Fever, but this will be his first feature.
Mark Rylance, Kenneth Branagh and Tom Hardy have already been confirmed for the film, along with relative unknown Fionn Whitehead.
Dunkirk will centre on Operation Dynamo, a British military operation that saw some 330,000 Allied soldiers rescued from detainment in a harbour.
