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.

Apart from directing a couple of Veep episodes and helping out on Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle, Chris Morris has been fairly quiet since releasing his feature film debut, Four Lions, in 2009.

It seems a follow-up has been in production somewhat under-the-radar in the Dominican Republic however, with comedy site Chortle breaking details on it this week.

Anna Kendrick apparently stars, pictured on Instagram on set wearing FBI uniform, a bulletproof vest and holding a rifle, joined by Kayvan Novak (Four Lions), James Adomian (Hits), Danielle Brooks (Orange is the New Black), Denis O'Hare (True Blood), Pej Vahdat (Bones) and Mousa Kraish (American Gods).

Plot details for unknown for the film, which is co-produced by See-Saw Films and Archer Grey Productions and financed by Film 4, which was also behind Four Lions.

Vahdat described the shoot on Instagram as "by far one of the best experiences of my life. This film is going to be absolutely epic and I can't wait for you all to see it," while Simon Four Lions writer Simon Blackwell previously teased to The Hollywood Reporter: "I’m aware of what [Morris is] cooking, but I can’t show you the menu I’m afraid.

"He has an elite troop of killers who will come and get you. He’s doing something marvellous, as you would expect."
