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.A potentially huge TV series is being cooked up from three Hollywood heavyweights, American Hustle director David O. Russell and Oscar-winning actors Robert De Niro and Julianne Moore.
The show doesn’t have a network yet (nor a production company) but it will surely be highly sought after, and The Hollywood Reporter claims there have already been multiple offers for it sight unseen.
Russell frequently collaborates with De Niro, working with him on Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle and Joy, but this will be his first time working with Moore.
It is also interesting to note that this is just the latest example of a film director heading to the small screen, which is increasingly regarded as the best place for quality scripted content.
There is no word on the plot/premise for the series yet, but Russell expected to begin pitching it next week when he gets back from his vacation.
Scott Lambert, Alexandra Milchan and Megan Ellison are tagged to produce.
