Ink Trailer: Danny Boyle Charts the Beginnings of the Murdoch Empire

Opening the Venice Film Festival and picked up by Netflix for a year-end release, Danny Boyle’s Ink tracks the beginnings of Rupert Murdoch’s empire, with a cast including Jack O’Connell, Guy Pearce, and Claire Foy, based on the Tony-nominated play of the same name by James Graham (who also wrote this adaptation). Boyle has previously excelled at capturing a pivotal global figure and we look forward to what’s in store here.

Here’s the synopsis: “A group of visionaries and misfits had an idea for a new kind of news — one that would give the people what they want and would change the face of the world we live in today. Based on the Tony Award-winning play of the same name.”

Watch the teaser below ahead of a Venice world premiere today and subsequent theatrical release on December 11 and Netflix release on January 8. Check back for our review from Venice.
