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.An all-star cast is catching on to Steven Soderbergh's Contagion, the director's next project with Matt Damon and Jude Law has Kate Winslet and Marion Cotillard set to join the team.
The action-thriller is about an outbreak of a deadly virus threatening four continents, weaving together various storylines, similar to the director's Traffic. The script is by Scott Z. Burns who wrote The Bourne Ultimatum and Soderbergh's The Informant!
Soderbergh is currently shooting Knockout, another star-packed film with Antonio Banderas, Michael Fassbender, Michael Douglas, Bill Paxton, and Ewan McGregor. It follows a black ops soldier played by martial arts fighter Gina Carano.
In a stylistic twist of material, Soderbergh also plans to direct a romantic musical, Cleo, set in the 1920s about the story of Cleopatra, Antony, and Caesar. It features Catherine Zeta-Jones and Ray Winstone.
His narrative documentary, And Everything is Going Fine, is a portrait of monologuist Spalding Gray, to be screened at the upcoming SXSW Film Festival and Conference in Austin, Texas in March.
