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.

Film director and sequel enthusiast James Cameron has revealed plans to reboot the Terminator franchise, again, professing a desire to produce a new three-film arc.

This is, of course, if he manages to make it through Avatar 2, Avatar 3, Avatar 4 and Avatar 5 first.

Cameron told News Australia:

"I am in discussions with (producer) David Ellison, who is the current rights holder globally for the Terminator franchise and the rights in the US market revert to me under US copyright law in a year and a half so he and I are talking about what we can do. Right now we are leaning toward doing a three-film arc and reinventing it."

Terminator was only rebooted in 2015 with Genisys, an instalment that saw Arnold Schwarzenegger return and Emilia Clarke and J.K. Simmons join the cast.

It received mixed reviews from critics, but earned $440 million at the box office.
