Jack O'Connell and Guy Pearce gather all the mud that's fit to sling in Ink trailer
Danny Boyle's latest hits select theaters on December 11, and drops on Netflix on January 8.
The new trailer for Danny Boyle's Ink, based on the Tony-nominated play of the same name by James Graham, is set to release in select theaters on December 11 and will be available on Netflix on January 8. The film, directed by Boyle, returns to his true-life mode of storytelling, as seen in films like 127 Hours and Steve Jobs. This time around, the movie dives into the murky origins of the infamous British tabloid, The Sun, which was acquired by Rupert Murdoch in 1969.
Jack O'Connell, known for his roles in Sinners, takes on the role of Larry Lamb, the paper's fresh-faced editor. Guy Pearce, recognized for his appearance in The Brutalist, portrays Rupert Murdoch, the media mogul who played a significant role in acquiring The Sun. The trailer also features Claire Foy, a member of The Crown, as "Jules Davies," a fictional amalgamation of several reporters from that era of the paper's history.
These characters are portrayed amidst the pop-period finery of the time, but with a gritty and grim Trainspotting-style aesthetic. The trailer showcases O'Connell's interactions with the other characters, including the bespectacled, disapproving glances from "Jules Davies."
