Ink Opens Venice, Tracing Murdoch’s Tabloid Rise in Boyle’s Drama

Danny Boyle’s Rupert Murdoch drama Ink opened the Venice Film Festival with a four‑minute ovation, tracing Murdoch’s 1969 Sun makeover into a populist tabloid under editor Larry Lamb; Netflix-produced and adapted from James Graham’s play, the film stars Guy Pearce as Murdoch and Jack O’Connell as Lamb and draws parallels to today’s media climate without demonizing its subject. The premiere kicked off a slate of festival premieres, with George Clooney receiving an honorary Golden Lion and Maggie Gyllenhaal chairing the jury for the competition, which runs through Sept. 12.

Ink: Boyle’s Murdoch drama lights up Venice with kinetic energy

Danny Boyle’s Ink, adapted by James Graham from his play, traces Rupert Murdoch’s 1969 takeover of Fleet Street via the Sun’s transformation into a populist tabloid, driven by Jack O’Connell’s determined editor and Guy Pearce’s ruthless media magnate. Employing rapid editing, a raucous soundtrack, and an energy that recalls Trainspotting, the Venice opener offers a morally ambivalent rise-and-fall chronicle of media sensationalism anchored by a strong ensemble led by Claire Foy. The film hits U.S. theaters December 11 and streams on Netflix January 8, delivering a vivid portrait of the era’s press culture and its ethical compromises.

Ink: Boyle Crafts a Fiery, Cinematic Take on Murdoch’s Fleet Street Era

Danny Boyle’s Ink, an electric adaptation of James Graham’s play about Rupert Murdoch’s early years at The Sun, turns a newsroom saga into a mythic, sensational cinematic ride—think Citizen Kane filtered through Trainspotting—with a kinetic score, dynamic visuals, and visions of the past colliding with the future. Opening Venice as a bold kickoff and set for a December theatrical release, the film signals Boyle’s triumphant return to form and a fearless plunge into the hellish power of tabloid media.

Bone Temple Reawakens the 28 Years Later saga with Fiennes’s magnetic menace

Ralph Fiennes anchors 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple with a calm, hypnotic Dr. Kelson in a melancholic, violence-heavy revival that braids grief and social fracture. Nia DaCosta directs a slower, more intimate thriller from Alex Garland’s script, while Jack O’Connell leads a terrifying cult‑led arc and Alfie Williams’s Spike is sidelined. The film aims for big-picture ideas about trauma and culture, delivering a memorable performance from Fiennes even as it struggles to sustain urgency, and it closes with a cheeky finale that tees up a planned trilogy’s final chapter.

Bone Temple Surges to the Franchise's Best Chapter Yet

Ralph Fiennes and Jack O’Connell anchor 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, a kinetic fourth chapter that, surprisingly, makes the undead almost secondary to tense human clashes under Nia DaCosta’s direction; the film introduces a Clockwork-Orangey non-infected gang led by Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal and features Dr Ian Kelson contending with a rampaging alpha zombie named Samson, while Spike on Holy Island witnesses the brutal world these characters inhabit. A standout moment is Fiennes dancing to Iron Maiden’s The Number of the Beast, and the movie opens January 15 in Australia and January 16 in the UK and US.
