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.Jason Reitman, director of Up in the Air and Thank You For Smoking, has set a December release date for his next film, Young Adult -- in time for Oscar consideration.
Written by Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody, who worked with Reitman on Juno, the film also stars Patrick Wilson ( Watchmen), Elizabeth Reaser ( The Twilight Saga) and comic Patton Oswalt ( The Informant!).
The dramedy opens in limited release on December 9, one week prior to wide release on December 16, and will compete with the season's heavy-hitters.
The story follows a writer of teenage literature who moves back to her small hometown after a divorce and pursues an ex-boyfriend who is married with children.
Young Adult will be up against New Year's Eve, a star-studded romantic-comedy in the vein of Valentine's Day, and then Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol with Tom Cruise and Jeremy Renner, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, and The Iron Lady with Meryl Streep.
Theron will star as the Evil Queen in Snow White and the Huntsman with Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth in 2012, as well as in Ridley Scott's Prometheus with Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender.
Reitman's next project may be Bonzai Shadowlands, teaming up with The Office television series star Rainn Wilson ( Juno) for a dark comedy about a depressed former master ninja.
