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.The star of Despicable Me and Date Night, Steve Carell, has signed on to play the son of an aging rock star in Imagine, reports New York Magazine's Vulture column. The rocker discovers he has a love child in a long-unopened letter from John Lennon.
The screenwriter, Dan Fogelman, will make his directorial debut with Imagine. He also wrote Cars, Bolt and the upcoming Tangled, another animated film, releasing November 24.
Fogelman also wrote Crazy, Stupid, Love, a comedy starring Carell, Julianne Moore, Marisa Tomei, Kevin Bacon, Ryan Gosling ( The Notebook), and Emma Stone ( Easy A). It will hit theaters April 22.
Carell's production company Carousel will produce the film.
The twist in this script may be inspired by a real decades-old undelivered letter from John Lennon and Yoko Ono addressed to British musician Steve Tilston, reported in The Telegraph this past August. Recently uncovered in the hands of a collector, the note from famous couple suggests money can't buy you love.
