Director Danny Boyle and cast members Jack O'Connell and Guy Pearce attended the BFI London Film Festival carpet on Monday night for the U.K. premiere of Ink, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The film tells the story of Rupert Murdoch's origins on Fleet Street. The London screening took place about one month after the movie opened the Venice Film Festival. [1]

Actor Jack O'Connell told The Hollywood Reporter that he expects the difference in audience reaction to be palpable because the project is a London film. O'Connell stated that if the movie does not work in London, it is not going to work anywhere. [1]
