As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that André Øvredal is an excellent choice to direct the Bendy and the Ink Machine movie. His extensive background in horror films, from Trollhunter to Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, speaks volumes about his ability to bring the eerie charm and suspense of the Bendy universe to life on the big screen.


André Øvredal has been chosen as the director for the upcoming Bendy and the Ink Machine film, an announcement made on X/Twitter following a fortnight of tantalizing teaser posts. Øvredal is renowned for his work on Trollhunter, The Autopsy of Jane Doe, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, and The Last Voyage of the Demeter.

Øvredal expressed his enthusiasm in a video shared with the announcement on Halloween, stating, “I can’t wait to direct Bendy and the Ink Machine! We’re committed to creating an exceptional film that will resonate with fans. It’s going to be a tribute to the captivating characters, imaginative settings, and everything that makes the Bendy games so beloved.

As he conversed, he brandished a flexible toy figure, further fueling excitement among fans: “He’s about to shine on the large screen imminently.

The creator, TheMeatly, has earlier hinted that the movie will blend realistic practical effects and computer-generated imagery (CGI) to portray its characters and settings. In his own words from a September Twitter post, he stated, “I’m striving for a harmonious blend of practical effects and CGI refinement to make it all cohesive.” He also mentioned that they are collaborating with creatives who share this approach.

TheMeatly has similarly voiced his aspirations for the film, hoping it won’t be fleetingly popular or trendy, but rather a classic horror movie that people can appreciate for many years and that will stand independently.

With a director now confirmed for the Bendy and the Ink Machine Movie, it’s likely that fans will get updates about the film in the near future. Meanwhile, you can enjoy the limited-time Halloween overlay, or catch up on the upcoming game, Bendy: Lone Wolf, which is set to be released next year.
