Bendy and The Ink Machine is coming to the big screen. Announced today on the official X/Twitter channel, all we know is that an adaptation of the popular game will be made. The adaptation will be from Radar Pictures and Joey Drew Studios. Will it be live-action? Will it be animated? We don't know. But this is enough to send fans into a tizzy while we wait for more information. What a Christmas gift for fans. Below is the teaser image that was posted. Are there any clues I am missing?
Bendy Could Be A Big Time Property
As the game's website explains, "Bendy and the Ink Machine is an indie first-person puzzle-action-horror game with a unique cartoon atmosphere and an intense, frightening storyline that keeps you guessing throughout. Henry was the lead animator at Joey Drew Studios in its 1930s heyday, a studio that was best known for producing animated cartoons of their most popular and beloved character, Bendy. Many years later Henry receives a mysterious invitation from Joey Drew himself to return to the old cartoon workshop."
The game series consists of five chapters that debuted starting in 2017. There have also been two sequels, with a third debuting soon. You can see the characters from the game on all sorts of different merchandise as well and has become a modern video game icon at this point. Bendy as a property reminds me a ton of Five Nights At Freddy's, and we all know how that went at the box office this year. I think Blumhouse should make a run at this one as well, they have proven that they will take their time and get something like this right so that fans and non-fans will find it accessible. Who knows, maybe down the line there could be a crossover event film to rival the Avengers.
