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.

Dr. Ian Malcolm, the mathematician that launched a thousand GIFs, is back in the Jurassic Park series, with Jeff Goldblum having signed on for the upcoming Jurassic World sequel, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Goldblum was sorely missed in Colin Trevorrow's previous film, especially as his character managed to survive the original movies so would have been easy enough to bring back.

J.A. Bayona (A Monster Calls) is directing Jurassic World 2 (tagline not yet confirmed), which will see Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard return and Toby Jones, Justice Smith and James Cromwell join the cast.

Trevorrow co-wrote the script for the sequel, which has a scheduled release date of 22 June, 2018.

Jeff Goldblum talks Independence Day Resurgence, wedgies and being gangly

Malcolm was brought in as an insurance consultant in Jurassic Park, also serving as a genetic engineering sceptic and debuting a now infamous laugh (above).

Goldblum will next be seen in Thor: Ragnarok, in November and is currently working on Wes Anderson's new film Isle of Dogs. He recently appeared in Anderson's Grand Budapest Hotel along with blockbuster Independence Day: Resurgence.
