Brad Pitt will develop a feature film based off the upcoming Capcom video game Dark Void.
Pitt will develop and produce the film through his Plan B production shingle and it was said that it could be a possible starring vehicle for the actor as well according to Heat Vision.
“Void” centers on a a cargo pilot named Will (Pitt’s presumed character) who, after crashing in the Bermuda Triangle, ends up in a parallel universe where a band of humans must fight an alien threat they had long been thought extinct. Will and the other humans are outmanned but have a number of weapons and powers to help them beat back the alien incursion.
Capcom will release the video game for Windows, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 in January. No production schedule was released for the film.
I think this is a bit risky as the game is not out and who knows whether it will live or die in the gaming market. Tons of games come out every week and many of them fall to the wayside. What happens if the game bombs? Will the movie still get made?
