Rupert Murdoch has reportedly expressed satisfaction with Guy Pearce's portrayal of him in Danny Boyle's new film, "Ink," which chronicles the rise of The Sun newspaper. Pearce shared this sentiment, noting that Murdoch's daughter, Elisabeth, conveyed her father's happiness with the casting. The film, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival, delves into the origins of the British tabloid.
Director Danny Boyle also used the platform to voice significant concerns about the future of journalism in the era of artificial intelligence. He expressed fears that AI could undermine the ability of the press to speak truth to power, a critical function of a free media. The film's debut comes amid ongoing discussions about the impact of technology on the media landscape and the integrity of journalistic practices.
