Danny Boyle’s 'Ink' Premieres in Toronto, Sparking Debate Over AI Use and Murdoch’s Early Image

Danny Boyle’s biographical drama 'Ink' had its Canadian premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on September 15, 2026. The film, produced by Netflix and starring Guy Pearce as Rupert Murdoch and Jack O’Connell as editor Larry Lamb, chronicles the rise of the UK tabloid The Sun in the late 1960s. While critics praised the film’s energy and the actors’ performances, a post-screening Q&A highlighted tensions regarding the use of artificial intelligence in production. The film is part of a broader Oscar campaign following its earlier premieres in Venice and Telluride.

Guy Pearce Confirms Rupert Murdoch Approved His 'Ink' Portrayal at Venice

Danny Boyle’s 'Ink' opened the Venice Film Festival on September 2, 2026, competing for the Golden Lion. Guy Pearce, who plays Rupert Murdoch, revealed that Murdoch’s daughter Elisabeth told him her father was 'very happy' with the casting, though Murdoch had not yet seen the film. The movie, adapted from James Graham’s play, depicts Murdoch’s 1969 acquisition of The Sun and his partnership with editor Larry Lamb, played by Jack O’Connell. Netflix holds U.S. and Latin American rights, while Studiocanal handles theatrical releases in Europe and Australia. Boyle emphasized the film’s nuanced portrayal of Murdoch, avoiding a 'monsterized' depiction, and expressed concerns about AI’s impact on journalism.

Venice4Palestine Coalition Demands Flag Display and Supply Chain Transparency at 2026 Film Festival

A coalition of artists and intellectuals has issued a second open letter to the Venice Film Festival, demanding concrete political actions in support of Palestine. The signatories, including Roger Waters and Annie Ernaux, argue that previous appeals have failed to halt ongoing violence and now call for the display of the Palestinian flag, the suspension of agreements with Israeli-linked entities, and the protection of workers who dissent. The group plans to hold a panel at the festival to discuss legal frameworks for cultural boycotts and to highlight Palestinian cinema.

Guy Pearce Reveals Warner Bros. Exec Blocked Future Nolan Collaborations

Guy Pearce revealed that he was unable to work with director Christopher Nolan after their collaboration on "Memento" due to a Warner Bros executive's dislike of his acting. Despite Nolan's interest in casting Pearce in films like "Batman Begins" and "The Prestige," the executive's stance prevented Pearce from participating in Nolan's subsequent projects with the studio. Nolan has since moved to Universal Pictures, while Pearce is gaining acclaim for his role in "The Brutalist."
