LOS ANGELES, November 10, 2026 — Netflix has released the official trailer for Ink, starring Jack O’Connell, Guy Pearce and Claire Foy, from Academy Award-winning director Danny Boyle, the streamer said in a post shared on X.
The film will open in select theatres on December 11, 2026, and arrive on Netflix on January 8, 2027, in the United States and Latin America, according to the post and Netflix’s Tudum site.
What the film is about
Netflix said a group of visionaries and misfits 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.” The streamer’s official title page describes the story as being set in London in 1969, when “two ink-stained mavericks turn a failing newspaper into a brash tabloid sensation, hell-bent on toppling Britain’s powerful press elite.”
The film is based on the Tony Award-winning play of the same name by James Graham, who also wrote the screenplay, according to Netflix’s Tudum site. Tudum, in an article published on November 10, describes Graham as a multi-Olivier Award-winning playwright and screenwriter, and says the film “tears open the world of tabloid journalism.” A title card in the trailer describes the story as being based on a true story.
Cast and director
Tudum lists O’Connell, whose recent films include Sinners and 28 Years Later, as Larry Lamb, and Pearce, whose films include The Brutalist and L.A. Confidential, as Rupert Murdoch. Foy, known for The Crown and First Man, plays Jules Davies. Netflix’s official title page also names a wider supporting cast that includes Bertie Carvel, Christopher Fulford, Brian Gleeson, Blake Harrison, Jonathan Hyde, Patrick Kennedy and Angus Imrie.
Boyle, the Academy Award-winning director of Slumdog Millionaire and Steve Jobs, is behind the camera, Netflix said. The official trailer, which runs for about two minutes and 26 seconds, includes a night-time shot of vans leaving the offices of The Sun, newsroom scenes, and a title card describing the film as the work of an Academy Award winner. In one sequence, Pearce’s Murdoch is heard saying, “There is a market ready for something new.” Another title card in the trailer uses the line “So, Larry, I bought The Sun.”
Release plans
Netflix’s post and Tudum agree on the two-step release: a limited theatrical opening on December 11, 2026, followed by the streaming debut on January 8, 2027, in the United States and Latin America. Netflix has not, in those announcements, set out a timetable for other territories.
Tudum’s article on the trailer is titled “The Ink Trailer Reveals the Legend of Larry Lamb and Rupert Murdoch,” and includes a first-look photograph of O’Connell and Pearce. The official trailer can also be watched on Netflix’s title page for the film, which lists it as a 2027 drama under the title INK.
LNA will report any further details about the release as they are announced.
