"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing.

"James Cameron has revealed the truth behind Matt Damon's story about rejecting the lead role in Avatar and missing out on a payout worth over a quarter of a billion dollars. For years, Damon has repeated the same regretful tale in press junkets and sit-down interviews: Cameron approached the actor for the role of Jake Sully in the 2009 hit film and reportedly offered him 10 percent of whatever the movie made. Damon has claimed he declined the job because he was shooting a Bourne franchise movie at the time. The blockbuster went on to gross $2.92 billion worldwide, meaning that if what Damon said was true, he potentially turned down hundreds of millions of dollars by rejecting the movie."
Coverage covers reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech while emphasizing on-the-ground reporting and investigative projects such as a documentary about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet solicits donations to fund reporters and chooses not to restrict reporting and analysis behind paywalls, arguing that quality journalism should be available to everyone and paid for by those who can afford it. James Cameron provides a conflicting account of Avatar casting, stating he did not offer Matt Damon the lead role and questioning whether he even sent Damon the script, contradicting Damon's long-repeated claim about a 10% profit offer.
