Netflix snags Danny Boyle's Venice opener 'Ink,' a Rupert Murdoch origin story
Netflix has just acquired the U.S. and Latin American rights to Danny Boyle's "Ink," per Variety. The film, which will open the Venice Film Festival, chronicles the early years of media mogul Rupert Murdoch's empire as he expanded into the U.K.
Starring Jack O'Connell and Guy Pearce, the project moved quickly from its festival announcement to finding a streaming home. This marks another high-profile festival acquisition for Netflix, securing a buzzy, director-driven drama.
The film offers a dramatized look at the origins of one of the world's most powerful media figures. It's the latest in a string of prestige plays from the streamer, aiming to add awards-season contenders to its library.
