Here’s a brand-new trailer for The Independent, a new film set for Sky Cinema in the UK starring John Cena, Jodie Turner-Smith and Brian Cox. The film is described as a nail-biting tale of political skulduggery and the race to expose corruption at the highest level of US politics.
The Independent tells the story of a budding investigative journalist Eli (Turner-Smith) who uncovers a conspiracy that threatens the very foundations of Washington D.C.
It’s the final weeks of the most consequential presidential election campaign in US history. America is poised to elect either its first female president (Ann Dowd) or finally break the country’s two-party gridlock with its first viable independent candidate (John Cena). Reporting history as it’s made, an idealistic young journalist (Jodie Turner-Smith) gets an opportunity to work with her idol, veteran Washington political columnist Nick Booker (Brian Cox). Eli is pursuing a story about budget cuts and by following the money she and Booker uncover a financial conspiracy that places the fate of the election, the country, and democracy in their hands.
The Independent is directed by Amy Rice and written by Evan Parter and will arrive on Sky Cinema and NOW from 24th February.
Here’s the trailer.
