Netflix posted a new official trailer today for Danny Boyle’s Ink, the film in which Jack O’Connell plays newspaper editor Larry Lamb opposite Guy Pearce as Rupert Murdoch, with Claire Foy as Jules Davies. Select theaters get the movie on Dec. 11, and it arrives on Netflix in the United States and Latin America on Jan. 8, 2027 (Netflix Tudum).

The Lowdown

This is the full official trailer, not the teaser Netflix uploaded in September. The new video went live on the company’s official YouTube channel this morning, and Tudum posted a matching write-up the same day. The film already opened the 83rd Venice International Film Festival on Sept. 2, so the dates on this morning’s pages are about the theatrical and streaming rollout, not a first public screening.

The Full Story

The trailer is titled INK | Official Trailer | Netflix, and it was published on the official Netflix YouTube channel at 9:30 a.m. ET today. John DiLillo’s Tudum announcement, also dated Nov. 10, points readers to the new video and restates the theatrical and streaming dates. 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 (The Futon Critic).

Tudum describes the movie as an adaptation of Graham’s Tony-winning play, about a group of people who had an idea for a new kind of news. IndieWire, in its own Nov. 10 trailer write-up, is more specific: the story follows Murdoch and Lamb as they turn The Sun into a modern tabloid in 1969. That identification matches the play and other festival coverage; Tudum itself does not name the paper in the copy posted today.

The official cast list is short and clear. O’Connell, recently seen in Sinners and 28 Years Later, plays Lamb, the editor. Pearce, of The Brutalist and L.A. Confidential, plays Murdoch. Foy, of The Crown and First Man, plays Jules Davies (Netflix Tudum).

The rollout has two official dates, and they should not be collapsed into one. Select theaters get Ink on Dec. 11, 2026. Netflix gets it in the United States and Latin America on Jan. 8, 2027. Tudum still carries a leftover future-tense line about a Venice world premiere; that festival already happened. The film was the opening-night selection at Venice on Sept. 2, and Pearce, O’Connell and Boyle walked the Toronto premiere later that month, which is the photo on this story.

Boyle is coming off 28 Years Later, and a newsroom period piece is a change of assignment, not a new director. Graham wrote the screenplay from his own play. We are not reviewing the movie from a trailer, and we are not treating festival praise as a verdict. The news today is the official trailer and the confirmed theatrical and Netflix dates.
