A blood-stained front page opens a cinematic look at the birth of modern tabloid journalism, as Academy Award-winning director Danny Boyle brings the gritty mechanics of sensationalist media to the big screen with his latest feature, INK.
Based on the Tony-winning play by multi-Olivier Award–winning playwright and screenwriter James Graham, the film follows a group of misfits and visionaries who set out to build a new kind of newspaper. Screen Slate reported that the feature stars Jack O’Connell, Guy Pearce, and Claire Foy as part of an ensemble charting how a fresh approach to news reshaped the media industry.
To celebrate the theatrical launch, The Paris Theater announced a companion repertory film series titled If It Bleeds, It Leads: INK and Other Tabloid Tales, curated alongside Boyle. The screenings explore media figures whose pursuit of a headline compromises their judgment, examining newsrooms where ratings outweigh editorial integrity.
The repertory lineup spotlights films that grapple with the darker side of journalism, featuring stories where splashy headlines bring severe consequences for their subjects. Screen Slate reported that the series highlights cinematic adaptations of lurid real-life events that triggered intense media frenzies.
The retrospective builds toward a special preview event on November 18. That evening closes out the repertory run with a sneak preview screening of INK, followed by a live question-and-answer session featuring director Danny Boyle and writer James Graham.
