FILM NOTES
A propulsive journey into the newsroom where headlines became spectacle and modern tabloid culture was born.
Adapted by James Graham from his Tony and Olivier Award-winning stage play, Ink enters Fleet Street in 1969, when Rupert Murdoch acquires The Sun and appoints Larry Lamb to reinvent the struggling newspaper. Their team develops a louder, more populist style that transforms its fortunes, while fictional reporter Jules Davies reflects the experiences of women navigating the era’s male-dominated newsrooms.
Danny Boyle brings kinetic energy and dark wit to this charged story of ambition, influence and journalistic reinvention. Jack O’Connell’s driven Lamb meets Guy Pearce’s calculating Murdoch, with Claire Foy adding tenacity and perspective. Fast-moving and visually electric, the film invites audiences behind the headlines to witness how one newsroom helped change the language of popular media.
