Film; OUT TAKES
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.

Twenty years after her debut in John Carpenter's Halloween, "Scream Queen" Jamie Lee Curtis will soon be reprising her role as Laurie Strode in Halloween: H20 (below). Reviving the franchise after 1995's Curse of Michael Myers, it's the latest in the slasher renaissance sparked by Scream.
Happiness is stalking, masturbation, dismemberment and paedophilia, according to writer/director Todd Solondz, whose follow-up to his indie hit Welcome to the Dollhouse has been making studio execs a little unhappy. Despite grabbing the Critics Prize at Cannes, it has been dropped by distributors October Films after pressure from parent company Universal.
