Danny Boyle film ‘Ink’ dramatizes Rupert Murdoch’s rise

The film ‘Ink’, directed by Danny Boyle, dramatizes the 1960s relaunch of The Sun newspaper and Rupert Murdoch’s rise within London’s Fleet Street. Adapted from the play by James Graham, the film stars Guy Pearce as Murdoch and Jack O’Connell as Larry Lamb, the editor instrumental in transforming the publication into a major media powerhouse.

Set in 1969, the production utilized a vacated council space in Bromley to recreate the authentic atmosphere of a Fleet Street newsroom. The film is scheduled to premiere at the London Film Festival before its theatrical release on December 11. Following its cinema run, it will be available on Netflix in the United States and Latin America starting January 8.
