Capcom has announced that Brad Pitt's production company, Plan B Entertainment, has acquired the film rights to their upcoming game Dark Void. Not only will Plan B be producing the film, but Pitt may possibly take on the role of the game's protagonist, Will...
Dark Void is an adrenaline-fuelled blend of aerial and ground-pounding combat which centers on Will, a pilot who crash lands in the Bermuda Triangle following a routine mission. Will wakes up to find himself in The Void, an alternate world resembling a primitive earth where aliens with superior technology are planning to take over civilization. Together with a faction of humans who have disappeared into the Void, Will takes on the alien race using their own advanced technology including a high-powered jet pack to defeat them and keep order in the civilized world.
In honor of this announcement, Capcom has released a new trailer for Dark Void showcasing "The Watchers", the alien race that is threatening mankind. If you weren't excited about a Dark Void movie before, you will be now (or maybe you just need to watch The Rocketeer again)...
Dark Void will be released for the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on January 19, 2010.
