Welcome to The Ink Factory. We are a film, television and digital production company founded in 2010 and based in London and Los Angeles.

The Ink Factory is a film, television and digital production company based in London and Los Angeles, founded in 2010 by Stephen Cornwell and his brother Simon. We believe in telling original and exciting stories that reach a wide audience, working with storytellers and filmmakers who inspire, challenge and innovate. We are proud to count amongst our collaborators one of the finest British writers

of our time: John le Carré, with whom we enjoy a close relationship. A key focus for the company is finding creative partnerships to help us bring his extraordinary breadth of work to screen. The Ink Factory began production on Drew Pearce’s Hotel Artemis, starring Jodie Foster and Sterling K Brown in June, and is behind the Emmy and Golden Globe Award winning drama series The Night Manager, based on a le Carré novel of the same name for the BBC and AMC. The company is working on a television adaptation of The Spy Who Came in From the Cold produced in association with Paramount TV for the BBC and AMC. Upcoming projects also include The American War, produced in partnership with Rise Films and developed with Film4 based on the bestselling memoir by Frank Snepp. The company’s first film, A Most Wanted Man, based on the novel by John le Carré, was released in 2014. Past projects include Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, directed by Ang Lee and based on the award-winning novel by Ben Fountain and produced Message from the King, an original noir thriller by Stephen Cornwell and Oliver Butcher starring Chadwick Boseman, Teresa Palmer and Luke Evans, which premiered at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival. The Ink Factory has also partnered with one of the games industry’s top talents, Matt Nava, to found digital studio Giant Squid. Giant Squid’s first game, the twice BAFTA Game nominated ABZÛ, was released in August 2016.

Wonderful to see George Smiley making his way back into the world in Nick Harakway's brilliant novel Karla's Choice: he's been gone too long. And lovely to see Nick on the cover of The Bookseller too ... can't wait for publication day on October 24th (and yes, you can pre-order now so it's delivered to you on the great day itself ...)

Can’t wait to bring you this amazing show, with our brilliant partners at Amazon and the BBC. So many people to thank for getting us this far, and so much work still to do, but when it finally emerges I hope you’ll agree it’s really special!

Could not be more thrilled to be announcing this initiative today.

Joe and Arthur have been huge and valued supporters of The Ink Factory for some years now, which makes it all the more exciting to begin to build in Asia with their support.

Tessa Inkelaar already has some extraordinary projects on the slate and We can’t wait for those to take shape while we build out the rest of the slate. We’re so grateful to the extraordinary creators and brilliant on-screen talent who are putting their trust in us, and we hope we do justice to the faith they are showing.

So proud that we are adapting this wonderful book. Timely, important and above all an extraordinary, resonant piece of storytelling. And what a great team to have behind the show.

As the book’s author C Pam Zhang says: “it feels quietly revolutionary to think that I might see two Chinese American kids swagger and stride across the screen, heroes of an American cinematic tradition I have always adored — it’s exactly where they belong, where Chinese Americans have always belonged. What a joy to have this team that already includes female and q***r perspectives from the Asian diaspora, and that I hope will grow to include even more voices.”

Thrilling!
