Londres, 13 de octubre de 2026.- La película 'Ink' tuvo su estreno en el Reino Unido en el BFI London Film Festival la noche del lunes, aproximadamente un mes después de que la cinta inaugurara el Festival de Cine de Venecia.
Danny Boyle, Jack O'Connell y Guy Pearce asistieron al estreno en la alfombra del BFI London Film Festival. La película está adaptada de la obra de teatro de James Graham y retrata a Rupert Murdoch, interpretado por Guy Pearce, entrando en el panorama periodístico británico y adquiriendo el entonces fracasado tabloide The Sun en 1969. Murdoch contrató a Larry Lamb, interpretado por Jack O'Connell, como editor.
El 70º BFI London Film Festival se celebra del 7 al 18 de octubre. El festival abrió con el estreno europeo de 'Elsinore', protagonizada por Andrew Scott. Entre las galas más glamurosas hasta ahora se incluyen 'Wild Horse Nine', 'Artificial', 'Paper Tiger', 'Possible Love', 'Bunker' y 'La Bola Negra'.
O'Connell afirmó sobre la película: "It's a London film. If it doesn't work here, it's not going to work anywhere." Sobre su personaje, dijo: "I think this guy was on a pursuit, or his obsession was newspapers, and I guess he broke a couple of rules along the way. And it wasn't victimless, but yeah, I don't consider him an out-and-out bad guy."
Pearce declaró: "Liz [Murdoch] told me that her dad was happy with me playing him, but I don't know to what degree that is. I can't really speak to that, to be honest. He might watch the film and go, 'Eugh! Jesus Christ, what were they thinking?'"
Boyle señaló sobre el legado que retrata el filme: "But it is the beginnings of the attention economy, of the clickbait economy, of the 'What's next? Swipe, move on.' It's the very beginnings of it there, the beginnings of the fire, and now it's a bushfire that's all around us, everywhere. And I don't know whether we're going to survive it… But if you want to understand it, I think there's a very good case for this [as] the place where it began."
Graham afirmó: "[The Sun] was the worst-selling paper in England and [they] made it the biggest-selling paper in the world, and I feel like people will link that to what's happening at the moment in tech and Silicon Valley and that culture of breaking things, disrupting things, challenging things."
La película muestra cómo Murdoch aplicó las lecciones aprendidas en The Sun para construir su imperio mediático en Estados Unidos con The New York Post y Fox News.
