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.

Following along Hollywood's sequel mania, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are both on board for a new ‘Men In Black' installment, also known as MIB III. Also, it will be shot in 3D, a technology that suits the subject.

The successful sci-fi action comedy, originally released in 1997 with a sequel in 2002, will be directed again by Barry Sonnenfeld (‘Get Shorty,' ‘The Addams Family').

The MIB stories follow Agent J and Agent K policing renegade aliens on earth and saving the world from intergalactic disaster.

Other actors in consideration were Josh Brolin (W, Milk) if Jones was unavailable and Sacha Baron Cohen (Bruno, Borat) as a possible alien. No word on the return on Rip Torn and Tony Shalhoub.

Jones stars in the upcoming independent film, The Company Men, a Sundance Film Festival hit with Ben Affleck and Kevin Costner.

Also his film, In the Electric Mist with John Goodman and Peter Sarsgaard, has been released in Europe this month.

Smith is in development with ‘Hancock 2,' ‘I Robot 2' and ‘Independence Day 2.'

The plan is to release around Memorial Day (May 30) 2011.
