The Screen Debut of Bendy and the Ink Machine
Bendy and the Ink Machine, a fan-favorite horror game known for its unique classic cartoon art style and fun puzzles, released as a set of chapters back in 2017 before a full complete release hit PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC the following year. Now, players will officially get to see the haunts of Bendy and the Ink Machine on the big screen one day.
The official Bendy Twitter account recently shared an image featuring Bendy’s hand pointing at a projector, with the message “Bendy is coming to the big screen.” In the image, we also see the Joey Drew Studios logo – that’s the game’s developer – and a logo for the Radar Pictures film production company. Radar Pictures is behind the rebooted Jumanji franchise starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, among other movies.
While there’s no word on the release date or plot details for the movie, Bendy creator Paul Crawford, known as theMeatly, expressed the team’s commitment to creating a high-quality and faithful adaptation of the Bendy world.
