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.

British actor James McAvoy is reportedly first in line to play the lead in a remake of cult 1994 movie The Crow.

The X-Men: First Class star, who is currently appearing in London's West End in Macbeth, is in talks to take on the role in a new adaptation of James O'Barr's comic, specialist horror site Bloody Disgusting reports.

The F.Javier Gutierrez-directed film telling the story of murder victim Eric Draven who rises from the dead to wreak revenge on his killers is also rumoured to involve Bradley Cooper, Mark Wahlberg and Channing Tatum.

Brandon Lee, who starred in the original, famously died during filming when he was accidentally shot on set.
