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.

There have been many stories that have riffed off the mythical Big Foot tale, but none have looked quite as stunning as Missing Link.

Directed by the writer of Kubo and the Two Strings, Chris Butler, the stunning upcoming stop-motion follows an explorer, Sir Lionel Frost, as he tracks down the fabled being, Mr Link.

Hugh Jackman (The Greatest Showman) voices the leading adventurer while Zach ​Galifianakis (The Hangover) takes on the misunderstood monster.

Zoe Saldana, Stephen Fry, Emma Thompson, and Little Britain duo Matt Lucas and David Walliams also featuring on the cast. Ching Valdez-Aran and Amrita Acharia (Irri on Game of Thrones) round out the voice cast. To create the stop-motion effect, over 110 sets were built, with as much as 65 unique locations.

Laika, the studio behind Kubo and the Two Strings and Coraline, have produced the film with Lionsgate distributing in the UK.

Missing Link is in cinemas 5 April 2019
