The first trailer for Danny Boyle’s Ink debuted ahead of its Venice Film Festival screening, revealing a dramatization of Rupert Murdoch’s 1969 takeover and transformation of The Sun. Studiocanal and Netflix released the teaser, which stars Guy Pearce as Murdoch alongside Jack O’Connell and Claire Foy. The film is being positioned for a late-year rollout with select theaters opening December 11 and Netflix streaming in the U.S. and Latin America on January 8; Studiocanal has scheduled cinema releases in January in other territories. Venice coverage noted Boyle and the cast at a press event as the festival opened, where the film joined a lineup drawing attention to political and journalistic themes. The trailer emphasizes tabloid-era upheaval and Boyle’s kinetic visual style, signaling Ink as a high-profile entry in this year’s festival slate and a global theatrical-to-streaming release strategy.
