Brad Pitt Is In A DARK VOID

Brad Pitt, one half of Brangelina inc., is looking towards the computer games market for inspiration – more specifically Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment and Reliance Big Entertainment have signed a deal to develop DARK VOID, based on the video game of the same name.

It’s thought that the project will be a starring vehicle for Pitt and will possibly pave the way for a franchise. This from Variety:

“Dark Void” follows a pilot who crash lands in the Bermuda Triangle following a routine mission and finds himself in an alternate world resembling a primitive Earth where aliens with superior technology are planning to take over civilization.

Capcom will release the vidgame on various platforms in North America and Europe in January next year.

Project is the first to come out of Reliance’s development silo with Plan B after the deal was first announced at last year’s Cannes Film Festival.

It’s unknown when development is scheduled to begin on the project, although it’s expected to be some time early to mid 2010. Sounds to me like a possible winner for Pitt, provided he can break that video game adaptation curse that most recently reared it’s ugly head with the abysmal Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li. Fingers crossed Brad!
