Getty Images for Warner Bros “Bulk” and “Meg 2” director Ben Wheatley thinks “it’s a great time to be a young filmmaker,” pointing to break-out, box-office phenomena like “Backrooms” and “Obsession” as proof that emerging directors are trailblazing new pathways to success — and finding ways to reach new audiences.
Appearing at the Transilvania Intl. Film Festival, where the U.K. filmmaker is on hand to promote his 2025 psychological thriller “Bulk,” Wheatley looked back at his comparatively late start as a director — he was 37 when he released his feature debut, “Down Terrace” — and joked that he’s “a really bad advert” for making it in the film industry.
