Danny Boyle is back in the world of zombies, though before he revisits his franchise again, following 28 Years Later, he’s doing something a bit more grounded. He’s got Ink on the docket next, which is about media mogul Rupert Murdoch‘s rise to power. To that end, he’s found who he wants to play Murdoch, and it’s a recent first time Academy Award nominee.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Guy Pearce is in talks to play Murdoch for Boyle. The film has a script by James Graham, adapting the play of the same name. Also potentially joining the movie is Jack O’Connell, reuniting with Boyle after 28 Years Later. So, a solid cast is brewing for this one. More when we have it.
