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.The second trailer for the sci-fi action-adventure, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, was released June 2, depicting the story leading up to the uprising and the epic interspecies battle.
A prequel to the Planet of the Apes series from the 1960s and '70s, this story tells of how the primates dramatically take over the world from humans when an experiment with genetic engineering turns an unexpected corner and backfires, getting into the wrong hands as the apes' intelligence recovers.
James Franco stars with Freida Pinto ( Slumdog Millionaire), John Lithgow ( Dreamgirls), Brian Cox ( Red), Tom Felton ( Harry Potter) and Andy Serkis (Lord of the Rings), who as Caesar the ape has mastered the art of portraying a motion-captured creature.
A highlight of this film is the impressive animals. The Oscar-winning digital effects team, Peter Jackson's WETA Digital, which brought the worlds of Avatar and Lord of the Rings to life, continues its groundbreaking work with the motion-capture/CGI apes.
The film releases in North America, Russia and Singapore on August 4-5. It follows in France, the UK, Hong Kong and other countries August 10-12 and rolls out around the world through August.
