Directed by Danny Boyle and scripted by James Graham from his celebrated stage play, Ink reconstructs the frenetic world of 1969 London newsrooms. The biographical drama stars Jack O'Connell as relentless editor Larry Lamb alongside Guy Pearce as media disruptor Rupert Murdoch, chronicling how their radical populist gambit turned The Sun into Britain's most notorious tabloid. Featuring Claire Foy as investigative reporter Jules Davies, the film captures the ruthless speed, commercial ambition, and moral compromises that defined Fleet Street's historic media revolution.
To mirror that furious editorial drive, music supervisor Iain Cooke infuses the promotional campaign and narrative universe with razor-sharp post-punk and subversive alternative anthems. The trailer prominently features Scottish experimental trio Young Fathers with their thunderous, rhythm-heavy cut "I Saw", alongside Dublin garage-punk outfit SPRINTS and their blistering track "Something's Gonna Happen". These punchy selections reflect the anti-establishment defiance and raw energy that fueled Lamb and Murdoch's aggressive overhaul of traditional British journalism.
Tying the production together is an original score from acclaimed composer Daniel Pemberton, reuniting with Danny Boyle after previous high-velocity collaborations. Pemberton brings his signature brand of kinetic brass, distorted synthesizers, and mechanical percussion, capturing the relentless rhythm of industrial printing presses churning out morning headlines. Between Cooke's biting rock curation and Pemberton's propulsive scoring, the soundtrack establishes an electrifying auditory pulse for one of the most transformative eras in modern press history.
