STUDIOCANAL has released a first look at the teaser trailer and artwork for INK, a heartracing new drama depicting the rapid rise of The Sun newspaper under its owner Rupert Murdoch and editor Larry Lamb, and how it would come to change the face of news forever.

Directed by Academy and BAFTA award winning Danny Boyle (28 Years Later, Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire), INK stars 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).
