Danny Boyle

“Netflix has secured U.S. and Latin American distribution rights to Danny Boyle's upcoming film "Ink," which chronicles the early development of Rupert Murdoch's media empire in the United Kingdom. The movie, starring Jack O'Connell and Guy Pearce, will open the Venice Film Festival as its curtain‑raiser. The acquisition adds another high‑profile biographical drama to Netflix’s slate, expanding its international content offerings ahead of the festival season. "Ink" is expected to explore Murdoch's rise in the 1960s and 1970s, providing a dramatized look at his early business ventures.”

“The Edinburgh International Film Festival is commemorating the 30th anniversary of Danny Boyle's 'Trainspotting' with a special screening and cast reunion. The event will include live commentary from the film's cast and crew, followed by a club night featuring DJ sets from Irvine Welsh and Darren Emerson. The celebration will take place at Leith Theatre on August 14 as part of the festival's 79th edition. The film, known for its gritty portrayal of Edinburgh's heroin subculture, remains a cultural touchstone and a defining work of 1990s British cinema. The event aims to honor the film's legacy and its impact on both the film industry and popular culture.”
