Netflix has released the official trailer for Ink, Danny Boyle's film about the birth of Britain's most famous tabloid. It opens in select US theaters on December 11, 2026, and arrives on Netflix in the US and Latin America on January 8, 2027.
The story
It's London, 1969. Rupert Murdoch buys a struggling daily paper called The Sun and hires Larry Lamb to edit it. Together the two turn it into a brash, wildly popular tabloid, taking on the established Fleet Street papers and changing the way news is sold. The film is adapted from James Graham's Tony Award-winning 2017 play of the same name.
Who's in it
Jack O'Connell plays Larry Lamb and Guy Pearce plays Rupert Murdoch. Claire Foy is Jules Davies, a fictional reporter, and Bertie Carvel plays rival newspaper chief Hugh Cudlipp. Lucy Russell, Blake Harrison, Patrick Kennedy, Angus Imrie, Brian Gleeson, Jonathan Hyde and Christopher Fulford also star.
Behind the camera
Boyle directs from Graham's own screenplay and produces with Tessa Ross, Michael Ellenberg and Tracey Seaward. Alwin H. Küchler shot it and Daniel Pemberton wrote the music. Ink opened the Venice Film Festival in September before stops at Telluride, TIFF and London, and StudioCanal releases it in UK and Irish cinemas on January 8.
Distributed in the US by Netflix.
