Trailer Drop · Official UK Trailer · 11 November 2026
“Any scandal is fair game.” The official UK trailer for Ink puts Guy Pearce’s Rupert Murdoch and Jack O’Connell’s Larry Lamb at the heart of Fleet Street in 1969, as the pair set out to turn a struggling paper called The Sun into Britain’s best-selling tabloid. Danny Boyle’s drama opens only in UK and Irish cinemas on Friday 8 January 2027.
The Birth of a Tabloid
When Murdoch buys The Sun, he hands it to Lamb with one instruction: give the people what they want. The trailer races through a raucous late-1960s newsroom as the new team tears up the rules of British journalism, before the scandals start to land. Claire Foy plays Jules Davies, who warns Lamb that just because you can make something public doesn’t mean you should.
James Graham adapted the film from his own Tony-nominated stage play, and it reunites Boyle with O’Connell after 28 Years Later. Daniel Pemberton composed the score. Watch the first teaser for Ink from September, and see what else is coming in our UK release calendar.
