I guess we can scratch this one off this year’s calendar. Danny Boyle’s “Ink,” a Rupert Murdoch biopic, starring Jack O’Connell, Guy Pearce and Claire Foy, will see release in 2027. That’s what Studiocanal announced this evening at CinemaCon.
Some had hoped that “Ink,” which wrapped production in December, would be done on time for this year’s fall fests, but that has sadly not come to be. It should be noted that, as of now, there is no U.S. domestic distributor for the film.
“Ink,” adapted by James Graham from his own stage play, is centered on the meteoric rise of Rupert Murdoch’s media empire. Pearce stars as the media mogul. In addition to Pearce, O’Connell stars as Larry Lamb, former editor of The Sun. Claire Foy is set to play an ambitious editor and Lamb’s colleague at The Sun.
Boyle is coming off the strong reviews “28 Years Later” earned in summer 2025, and “Ink” seems to be his return to baitier awards material. Boyle’s 30-year career has seen him direct such films as “28 Days Later,” “Trainspotting,” “127 Hours,” and “Slumdog Millionaire.”
