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.

Enchanted 2 may actually be hitting cinema screens in the near future.

The long-planned sequel, titled Disenchanted, has been in development for a while, under the guidance of Hairspray's Adam Shankman.

The sequel is reportedly set ten years later, with Giselle (Amy Adams) questioning whether Robert (Patrick Dempsey) is truly the man of her dreams, having been thrown from an animated fairytale world into modern day New York. It's unknown, however, whether either Adams or Dempsey will definitely return.

Shankman provided an update on the project at a Television Critics Association panel, in which he revealed: "We are handing in a script in a couple of weeks that I'm super happy with. Then [we] gotta get the music written."

He added, "The fundamental story has changed a little bit, but not from the base story of it." Although, according to him, the story will still see Giselle ask: "What is happily ever after?"


The new sequel also promises to include "a lot more" songs than in the original, and will still include several animated scenes. The original Enchanted also starred Westworld's James Marsden, Susan Sarandon, and Idina Menzel; it's unknown who else from the original may return.
