"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."
"Is Jack Black the biggest star in the world? Ask quite literally anyone and they'd probably and very quickly say no. But the numbers don't lie: in a year in which major A-listers have struggled to open movies, among them established reliables such as Dwayne Johnson and Julia Roberts as well as nascent stars including Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney, audiences have lined up in droves to see both of Black's 2025 star vehicles."
"This Christmas week, Black can be seen in a reboot of the cult 1997 monster movie Anaconda, in which Jennifer Lopez and Ice Cube were terrorised by a giant snake. The new Anaconda is more intentionally funny than the so-bad-it's-charming original, with Black starring as an Anaconda superfan who decides to remake the movie with his best friend, played by Paul Rudd. Venturing to the Amazonian jungle, the pair unfortunately encounter an actual, real-life 25 ft snake."
The Independent covers topics from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech, emphasizing on-the-ground reporting. The outlet investigates matters such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC finances and produces documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent relies on donations to fund reporters and maintains free access without paywalls, asking supporters to contribute. Jack Black emerged as a major box-office draw in 2025, with two comedy star vehicles attracting large audiences despite a difficult year for many A-listers. One of his films is a comedic reboot of Anaconda featuring Paul Rudd and a real 25 ft snake.
