Your support helps us to tell the story
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.Brad Pitt's production team Plan B has acquired the movie right for Tom Rachman's new novel The Imperfectionists, reported Deadline on June 1. The best-selling novel tells the story of an English-language newspaper in Rome and the lives if its staff members.
First released in March in the UK, The Imperfectionists is the debut published novel for Rachman, a Canadian journalist-turned-author who bases his book on his own experiences as an expat reporter. Hype for the book began in 2008, when it was named one of the hottest titles at the Frankfurt Book Fair. Since its April release in the US, the book has been on the Amazon, New York Times, and Los Angeles Times bestseller lists.
The Imperfectionists focuses on eleven characters, their interwoven lives, and their ties to the 50-year-old newspaper, as well as the bleak future of the newspaper itself in the face of a new technological landscape.
No production schedule for the film adaptation has been released.
