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 upcoming director of Breaking Dawn, the fourth installment of The Twilight Saga films, Bill Condon, who has directed films such as Dreamgirls and Kinsey, posted a letter on Facebook to introduce himself to "Twifans."
It reveals all the preparation he's doing to get familiar with the series, his admiration for the actors, and excitement about directing the final story. "Since making Gods and Monsters thirteen years ago, however, I've been yearning for a return to a story with Gothic overtones," he writes of his enjoyment of vampire tales.
Condon starts by addressing: The Twilight Saga's Greetings Twihards, Twifans, Twilight Moms, Team Edward, Team Jacob and Team Switzerland...
Speaking of adapting the Stephenie Meyers bestsellers, he says: "Rooted in a beautiful, real landscape with a great sense of place, Bella, Edward, Jacob, and the rest of the Forks/La Push menagerie, experience emotions that are primal, and universal: desire, despair, jealousy - and it all comes to fruition in BREAKING DAWN."
The director ends with what is perhaps the most pressing concern - "P.S. Answer #1: No, there won't be any musical numbers."
The next and third film, Eclipse, by video music director David Slade, is due on June 30 with Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Dakota Fanning, and Anna Kendrick. It follows Bella's choice between the vampire and the werewolf.
