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.This reawakens but doesn't reinvigorate a franchise that was already curling at the edges seven years ago, with The Mummy Returns.
Brendan Fraser is back as American adventurer Rick O'Connell, though his English wife Rachel Weisz has scarpered and Maria Bello been drafted in as substitute. Their son (Luke Ford) has joined the family business and is now digging up the tomb of a brutal Chinese emperor (Jet Li), whose terracotta army will be raised from the dead on the say-so of a witch who hides the secret of immortality.
The sub-Raiders stunts and digitised shape-shifting are familiar terri-tory.
