Ink

Ink is a feature film drama directed by Academy Award winner Danny Boyle and adapted from James Graham's stage play. Set during the late 1960s, the biographical drama chronicles the high-stakes launch and rapid rise of British tabloid newspaper The Sun following its acquisition by media mogul Rupert Murdoch.

The movie stars Guy Pearce as Rupert Murdoch, Jack O'Connell as editor Larry Lamb, and Claire Foy. It focuses on the intense power plays, aggressive tactics, and publishing overhaul that reshaped modern print journalism and British tabloid culture. The production generated industry discussion after Boyle confirmed that approximately 30 seconds of generative artificial intelligence was used in the final cut to animate a vintage newspaper photograph.

Ink premiered in competition at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival before making autumn festival stops at Telluride and the Toronto International Film Festival. Distributed by Netflix ahead of a scheduled United States release, the feature received a major awards season promotional campaign from the streaming platform.
