Danny Boyle, known for films like Trainspotting and Slumdog Millionaire, faced difficulties raising funds for a new project centered around Rupert Murdoch and Larry Lamb during an interview at the BFI London Film Festival. Boyle mentioned that while StudioCanal provided some funding, it was insufficient, noting, "Whereas a lot of people wouldn’t give us the money." He further elaborated on potential studio reluctance due to the project's origins as a stage play and speculated about challenges in securing backing from tech giants like Apple or Facebook given their control over news dissemination platforms. Boyle highlighted concerns that studios might avoid funding projects critical of major tech companies, questioning whether such stories would be promoted on these dominant digital platforms.
