Netflix has posted a new official trailer for Ink, Danny Boyle’s film about Rupert Murdoch and the editor who helped him turn a failing newspaper into a brash tabloid. Jack O’Connell plays newspaper editor Larry Lamb opposite Guy Pearce as Rupert Murdoch, with Claire Foy as Jules Davies.
The trailer, titled INK: Official Trailer: Netflix, was published on the official Netflix YouTube channel at 9:30 a.m. ET on November 10, according to PopCulturePit. John DiLillo’s Tudum announcement, also dated November 10, points readers to the new video and restates the theatrical and streaming dates.
Two dates, not one
The rollout has two official dates, and they should not be collapsed into one. Select theatres get the movie on December 11, 2026, and it arrives on Netflix in the United States and Latin America on January 8, 2027, according to Tudum. The Futon Critic logged the same official trailer that morning, with Netflix’s logline about two “ink-stained mavericks” in London in 1969 turning a failing newspaper into a brash tabloid.
Tudum describes the movie as an adaptation of James Graham’s Tony-winning play, about a group of people who had an idea for a new kind of news. IndieWire, in its own November 10 trailer write-up, is more specific: the story follows Murdoch and Lamb as they turn The Sun into a modern tabloid in 1969.
Boyle’s return to the big screen
Danny Boyle, the Oscar-winning director of Slumdog Millionaire, directs from Graham’s play, which was a hit on stage before its screen adaptation. The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 15, 2026, and the featured image in the trailer coverage is from that premiere, not a frame from the new trailer.
The cast is a strong draw: O’Connell, fresh from acclaimed work in recent years, plays the ambitious editor, while Pearce takes on one of the most recognisable media figures of the last half-century. The December theatrical window gives the film a chance at awards-season attention before its streaming debut in January.
