Sci-Fi Film and Television Developments

Dark Void

11/20/09 - Reliance BIG Entertainment and Brad Pitt's Plan B shingle are developing a film version of the upcoming video game, Dark Void, and Pitt could well star as the lead combatant, according to The Hollywood Reporter.  The two firms have acquired rights to the Capcom third-person shooter and will develop the material as a feature.  Void centers on 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 that 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.  The game will be released for Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in January 2010.  "As a game, 'Dark Void' was developed with a wide-screen mentality -- a world full of adventure presented in cinematic scope and scale," Capcom senior vice president of licensing Germaine Gioia said.
