What the trailer and reviews reveal about Ink, the new film starring Guy Pearce as Rupert Murdoch
The first look at the film shows it moves at a cracking pace, with the kind of street grit you would expect from Trainspotting director Danny Boyle.
Danny Boyle's biopic Ink, starring Guy Pearce as Rupert Murdoch, has been hailed by critics as "riveting" and one of Boyle's best films in decades. The film explores Murdoch's 1969 takeover of The Sun. According to City AM, director Danny Boyle described the film as looking at how Murdoch and the editor of The Sun created the world's biggest selling newspaper.
The film has been acquired by Netflix for US rights. It was screened as the opening film at the 83rd Venice Film Festival, which has historically been a launchpad for major Hollywood movies.
The film stars Jack O'Connell as the unscrupulous editor of The Sun. According to City AM, Boyle noted that the film's themes of media manipulation predated modern social media and news outlets like Fox News and Truth Social.
