The Birth of a Tabloid Empire
"Ink," a dramatic portrayal directed by Danny Boyle, unveils the compelling story of Rupert Murdoch’s controversial rise and the reinvention of The Sun newspaper. Adapted from James Graham’s 2017 play, the narrative sets itself in 1969, focusing on Murdoch’s ambitious venture outside Australia and his partnership with Larry Lamb, a British newspaper editor. Together, they transformed The Sun into a sensationalist powerhouse, utilizing populist journalism and provocative content to grasp the attention of the British public.
A Star-Studded Cast
Guy Pearce, known for his role in "The Brutalist," embraces the complex character of Rupert Murdoch, depicting the media magnate’s ruthless ascent. Alongside Pearce, Jack O’Connell shines as Larry Lamb, supported by his previous collaboration with Boyle in "28 Years Later." Claire Foy adds depth to the ensemble as a composite character representing the female reporters of that era.
From Stage to Screen
The transition from stage to screen brings with it a rich tapestry of production talent. Boyle teams up with producers Tracey Seaward, Tessa Ross, and Michael Ellenberg, while Graham serves as an executive producer. Their combined efforts promise to deliver a narrative as dynamic and impactful as its theatrical predecessor, which garnered critical acclaim and accolades for its lead, Bertie Carvel.
A Global Stage Premiere
Set to captivate audiences at the Venice Film Festival on September 2 as the opening film, "Ink" will subsequently hit select theaters on December 11. Netflix will stream it in the U.S. and Latin America starting January 8, with StudioCanal handling distribution across Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
Experience the Teaser
As anticipation builds, the released teaser offers a glimpse into the high-stakes world of tabloid journalism and the pivotal figures behind it. Audiences worldwide are invited to witness the dramatic unfoldings that shaped one of the most infamous publications in media history.
