Where it stands

Audiences will feel the rarity of a media mogul’s endorsement as Rupert Murdoch publicly says he is “very happy” about Guy Pearce’s turn as himself in Danny Boyle’s new biopic “Ink.” The surprise stems from the film’s focus on the rise of The Sun tabloid, a subject that has long been contentious. Evidence comes from Variety, which reports Murdoch’s satisfaction and notes the actor’s comment that Murdoch’s daughter praised the performance.

Variety and the Times have published reviews that describe the movie as gripping and sizzle‑laden, while IndieWire released a teaser highlighting the casting. The film opened the 83rd Venice Film Festival, positioning it for international attention.

With Murdoch’s approval and his daughter’s praise on record, observers wonder whether “Ink” will reshape public perception of The Sun’s legacy.
