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.On another planet, in another universe - it's not so hard to imagine haute-auteur Quentin Tarantino lensing Warner Bros.' Suicide Squad.
A wayward band of colourful villains, strung together by circumstances out of their control; add just an extra dose of blood splatter, and a kicking '70s soundtrack, and you've got yourself some prime Tarantino territory.
Loot Crate Productions has unveiled their own take on exactly what such an endeavour would look like; crafting Tarantino's own Task Force from the likes of Pulp Fiction's Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson), Inglorious Basterds' Lt. Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt), Django Unchained's Django (Jamie Foxx), and Kill Bill's The Bride (Uma Thurman) and schoolgirl Gogo Yubari (Chiaki Kuriyama).
And their leader? The director himself; with the video assembling its own perfect team of look, act, and soundalikes for the video, itself capturing Tarantino's outlandish style with absolute verve.
Directed, edited, and conceived by Julian Higgins for Loot Crate - a monthly subscription service specialised in geek gear - the parody manages to integrate plenty of references both to Tarantino's work and to Suicide Squad itself. Except they're only "sort of" the bad guys, here; you're never quite sure with Tarantino.
Suicide Squad opens in UK cinemas 5 August.
