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.Directors Fergal Reilly and Clay Kaytis are embracing the fact the Angry Birds movie is a ridiculous idea by having an equally obscure cast.
Already, the likes of Sean Bean, Peter Dinklage, and Charlie XCX sre confirmed, and now El Chapo interviewer Sean Penn has been revealed to be playing an oversized bird named Terence.
According to the release, Penn’s character will only communicate via grunts and growls. You can see Terence in the clip below.
Angry Birds is an adaptation of the popular mobile game that sees players attempt to fling birds into structures in an attempt to destroy the pigs who have stolen their eggs.
Other cast members include Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Danny McBride, and Maya Rudolph.
If the film is incredibly successful - which it may very well be - it will likely have numerous sequels, spin-offs, and tie-in games. Perhaps a cross-over with Minions? I can see it now: Angry Birds v Minions: Dawn of Another Franchise.
