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.

The Predator is back at it (the preying) again.

And, as Sterling K. Brown's Will Traeger warns: "Predators don't just sit around making hats out of rib cages. They conquered space."

Shane Black's The Predator is bringing the extraterrestrial hunter back, now more insatiable than ever. As the synopsis reads: "From the outer reaches of space to the small-town streets of suburbia, the hunt comes home in Shane Black’s explosive reinvention of the Predator series."

“Now, the universe’s most lethal hunters are stronger, smarter and deadlier than ever before, having genetically upgraded themselves with DNA from other species. When a young boy accidentally triggers their return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of the human race.”

Directed by Black – who had a supporting role in the original 1987 Predator - the movie will acknowledge the events of the first two Predator films, while acting as an almost complete reboot otherwise.

The star-studded cast includes Boyd Holbrook, Trevante Rhodes, Keegan-Michael Key, Olivia Munn, Sterling K. Brown, Jacob Tremblay and Alfie Allen.

The Predator reaches cinemas 14 September.
