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.
Your support makes all the difference.Brad Pitt is joining an action thriller project with director Darren Aronofsky ( The Wrestler) called The Tiger, based on a nonfiction book by John Vaillant, with Guillermo Arriaga ( Babel) writing the script.
The story takes place on the Siberian plain where a tiger turns on intruders in its habitat. A conservationist game warden must face down the tiger when people are mysteriously hunted down by the creature.
Pitt and Aronofsky attempted to work together on a couple of other films - Aronofsky's sci-fi drama The Fountain which starred Hugh Jackman and The Fighter which David O. Russell ended up directing with Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg.
Pitt will star in the upcoming The Tree of Life with Sean Penn by acclaimed director Terrence Malick ( Badlands, Days of Heaven).
Aronofsky's Black Swan with Natalie Portman and Winona Ryder will release later this year.
