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.

Hollywood loves a reboot.

With Guillermo Del Toro busy making Oscar-winning monster movies, Lionsgate have elected not to make a sequel to the director’s two Ron Perlman-starring Hellboy films and instead reboot the series.

Stranger Things actor David Harbour takes on the eponymous role this time around, with Milla Jovovich, Ian McShane and Sasha Lane all co-starring.

Directed by Neil Marshall, best known for helming the Game of Thrones episodes ”Blackwater” and “The Watchers on the Wall”, Hellboy has received a first trailer.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Harbour said of taking on the Hellboy role: “He’s really going through a late adolescence. It comes from this relationship with his father, who on the one hand claims to love him and on the other hand lies to him about certain things and wants him to be this weapon in this world.

“It’s the fundamental paradox: ‘How are you feeling today, my serial killer of your fellow beings?’ Like wait, you want me to be this brutal machine but then you care how I feel?”

Hellboy reaches cinemas 12 April.
