Danny Boyle continues to explore all matter of subjects, and this time he’s delving into the murky world of newspaper publishing, but with the original idea behind how everything came to be for a certain Rupert Murdoch.

The award-winning director, Boyle, directs INK, which is based on the Tony nominated play by James Graham, with Graham also writing the screenplay. The film adaptation stars Jack O’Connell as The S*n editor Larry Lamb, and Guy Pearce as Murdoch – and we know he’s no stranger to playing less-likeable characters, so that’s a fine fit as well as Claire Foy portraying Jules Davies.

The film is described as an “explosive cinematic rollercoaster about a group of visionaries and misfits who had an idea for a new kind of news – one that would give the people what they want and would change the face of the world we live in today.” and here’s your first look!
