StudioCanal, Media Res, and House Productions reveal the first-look image of Jack O’Connell in director Danny Boyle’s movie, Ink.
StudioCanal, MEDIA RES, and House Productions today reveal a first look at Jack O’Connell as The Sun editor Larry Lamb in Danny Boyle’s INK, now filming in locations across London. Academy and BAFTA award-winning Danny Boyle (28 Years Later, Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire) directs INK, which is based on the Tony-nominated play by multi-Olivier award-winning playwright and screenwriter James Graham (Dear England, Sherwood, Brexit). Graham has written the screenplay.
PREMISE
BAFTA winner Jack O’Connell (Starred Up, 71, Back To Black, Sinners), Academy Award-nominated Guy Pearce (Memento, The Brutalist, LA Confidential) and BAFTA-nominated Claire Foy (The Crown, All of us Strangers, The Electrical life of Louis Wain) star in INK, 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.
O’Connell stars as The Sun editor Larry Lamb, with Pearce as Rupert Murdoch and Claire Foy as Jules Davies. StudioCanal will release the film theatrically in the UK & Ireland.
BEHIND THE SCENES
Danny Boyle produces with Tessa Ross (Conclave, The Iron Claw, Zone of Interest) and Michael Ellenberg (The Morning Show, Pachinko). INK reunites Boyle and Ross following their collaboration on Slumdog Millionaire. Tracey Seaward (The Two Popes, Philomena, Pistol) also produces. Tonia Davis is an EP.
MEDIA RES has optioned James Graham’s play of the same name, directed by Rupert Goold. StudioCanal is fully financing the film, with Ron Halpern and Joe Naftalin overseeing the project. Alwin H. Kuchler (Steve Jobs) is DOP; Gareth Pugh & Carson McColl (28 Years Later) are Production & Costume Designers; Finn Oates (How to Have Sex, Warfare) is Editor; Gail Stevens & Rebecca Farhall (28 Years Later) are casting the film.
