Elizabeth Olsen says she will only act in films with theatrical releases

"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."

"Elizabeth Olsen won't sign any film that isn't guaranteed a theatrical release because, she says, people need to be together in a space. The actor says she prefers her work to be more of a theatre experience and doesn't want streaming to become an end-all. If a movie is made independently and only sells to a streamer, then fine. But I don't want to make something where it's the end-all, Olsen told InStyle magazine."

"I think it's important for people to gather as a community, to see other humans, be together in a space. That's why I like sports. I think it's really powerful for people to come together for something that they're excited about. We don't even audition in person anymore.

The Independent emphasizes the need for on-the-ground reporters to cover issues from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech, funded by donations rather than paywalls. The outlet investigates topics such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produces documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent states it is trusted across the political spectrum and keeps reporting free for all, relying on supporters who can afford to pay. Elizabeth Olsen says she will not sign films without guaranteed theatrical releases, preferring shared, communal experiences and resisting streaming as the dominant or sole distribution.
