Ink Debuts at Telluride, Tracing Murdoch's Sun Birth

Danny Boyle's Ink, a Netflix-bound drama about Rupert Murdoch's launch of The Sun in 1969, premiered at Telluride with Boyle introducing the film and noting misconceptions about the title. Guy Pearce stars as Murdoch and Jack O’Connell as editor Larry Lamb in a brisk, era-appropriate portrait adapted by James Graham from his 2018 play. The North American premiere highlighted a pre‑internet, fast-paced tabloid era, and Netflix is set to stream Ink in January; Deadline’s Pete Hammond praised its energy and vivid storytelling of the Sun’s origins.

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

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.

Earth Might Surf the Sun’s Red-Giant Wake, But Humanity Is Doomed

New research suggests Earth could dodge engulfment by the Sun’s red-giant stage if the Sun loses mass quickly enough, causing Earth to drift to a wider orbit around a future white-dwarf Sun; however, life would still be impossible due to increased brightness and heat long before that final phase, with Mercury and Venus assuredly doomed and Mars potentially surviving in a wider orbit.
