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.You'd assume that with cameras set to roll on an eighth Fast & Furious film, the franchise was in danger of running out of steam.
Firstly, you couldn't be more wrong.
Secondly, should that ever be the case, perhaps producers should think outside the box just like this fan who's proposed a fairly bold idea for the next instalment: Fast Nein: The Fast and the Führer, a film that would see the ensemble go back in time to race Hitler.
Jordan VanDina is the one behind this idea, and as well as setting up a crowdfunding page for the project, has gone so far as to post a completed 71-page script.
“This campaign has no affiliation with Universal or anyone involved in the Fast & Furious franchise,” he writes in a disclaimer.
“I also have no power or authority to make this movie. Please don’t donate to this but feel free to read the script.”
It seems VanDina has used the page - and its ensuing coverage - to merely showcase his writing skills; should producers want to reboot the franchise once the final trilogy of films has been released, it's increased VanDina's chance of penning it.
You can visit Fast Nein's crowdfunding page here. Fast and Furious 8 is due out in 2017. Recent reports suggested Charlize Theron was being lined up to star in a villainous role.
