\n\tDanny Boyle\u2019s \u201cInk,\u201d starring Jack O\u2019Connell, Guy Pearce and Claire Foy, will open the 83rd Venice Film Festival, which runs Sept. 2-12. The film will world premiere in the competition section.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film is written by multi-Olivier awardwinning playwright and screenwriter James Graham (\u201cDear England,\u201d \u201cSherwood,\u201d \u201cBrexit\u201d).<\/p>\n

\n\tBoyle said: \u201cI\u2019ve been to the Biennale many times, but this is my baptism at the film festival \u2013 a huge honor to be in a city of such extraordinary art and opening this great festival with my new film \u2018Ink.\u2019 1969 \u2013 the year we first walked on the moon \u2013 and the year Rupert Murdoch and Larry Lamb launched a newspaper that was to change the world far more. Long before Fox News, click bait, and Truth Social; decades before Twitter, Facebook, Google and Only Fans, these two men created a new tabloid which against all the odds became the biggest selling newspaper in the world. Cheeky, irreverent, daring: The super soaraway Sun challenged the establishment and remade our world for the modern era. A script by James Graham I felt compelled and privileged to make.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tVenice chief Alberto Barbera said, \u201cAn Oscar-winning director, one of the leading playwrights on the London theater scene, and three of the most acclaimed actors in contemporary British cinema \u2014 these are the credentials behind Danny Boyle\u2019s film \u2013 enhanced by the performances of Jack O\u2019Connell, Guy Pearce and Claire Foy, which screenwriter James Graham adapted from his own play of the same name. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt is an account of publisher Rupert Murdoch\u2019s acquisition of the daily newspaper The Sun, which he entrusted to the unscrupulous Larry Lamb, turning it into Britain\u2019s best-selling tabloid at the expense of its rival, The Mirror. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI would like to thank Studiocanal, Media Res and House Productions for granting us the honor of opening the Venice Film Festival with such a highly anticipated film.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBoyle produces with Tessa Ross (\u201cConclave,\u201d \u201cThe Iron Claw,\u201d \u201cZone of Interest\u201d) and Michael Ellenberg (\u201cThe Morning Show,\u201d \u201cPachinko\u201d). The film reunites Boyle and Ross following their collaboration on \u201cSlumdog Millionaire.\u201d Tracey Seaward (\u201cThe Two Popes,\u201d \u201cPhilomena,\u201d \u201cPistol\u201d) also produces. Anna Marsh, Ron Halpern, Joe Naftalin of Studiocanal, Tonia Davis, Zoe Edwards, James Graham, Sudie Smyth of Studiocanal are executive producers.<\/p>\n
