This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Fresh from the festival circuit, War on Everyone - the new one from Irish director John Michael McDonagh - has a brand new trailer.

The Calvary director's new crime comedy follows two corrupt New Mexico cops who plot to frame and blackmail every criminal that comes their way.

Alexander Skarsgård and Michael Peña head up the cast alongside Theo James (Divergent), Caleb Landry Jones (X-Men: First Class) and Tessa Thompson who will also be seen in new HBO series Westworld.

Former True Blood actor Skarsgård will next be seen in The Legend of Tarzan. Peña, who also played a cop in David Ayer drama End of Watch, had a memorable supporting role in last year's Marvel film Ant-Man.

McDonagh - whose brother Martin wrote and directed In Bruges - is the man behind The Guard which paired Brendan Gleeson with Don Cheadle in 2011.

War on Everyone will be released 30 September.
