Netflix has unveiled the official trailer for Ink, an upcoming biographical drama film directed by Danny Boyle. Written by James Graham, the movie features a star-studded cast, led by Jack O’Connell, Guy Pearce, and Claire Foy.
Ink is scheduled to arrive in select theaters on December 11, 2026, before making its streaming debut on Netflix on January 8, 2027. It is adapted from Graham’s Tony Award-winning 2017 stage play of the same name, which centers on the sensational rise of the popular British tabloid newspaper The Sun.
The official synopsis describes Ink 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.”

What happens in the Ink trailer?
The trailer opens with a montage of the entertainment industry. It then cuts to a striking shot of newspaper editor Larry Lamb, played by O’Connell, at a printing press. Lamb is approached by media mogul Rupert Murdoch, played by Pearce, who tells him that he bought The Sun. A skeptical Lamb dismisses the publication as “a laughing stock,” but Murdoch convinces him that it can be changed. “Let’s make something dangerous and something fun!” the newspaper magnate declares.
The trailer then follows Lamb and his team of reporters, including Foy’s Jules Davies, as they brainstorm to turn The Sun into a sensational media giant. What follows is the controversial rise of the tabloid newspaper, orchestrated by the ambitious editor. The logline adds, “It’s a story about the rise of modern tabloid sensationalism, journalistic ethics, and ruthless corporate drive.”
Ink also stars Blake Harrison, Patrick Kennedy, Angus Imrie, Brian Gleeson, Bertie Carvel, Jonathan Hyde, Lucy Russell, and Christopher Fulford.
