First it was books, then comics and now it is video games, leaving you wondering where movie mavericks will draw their inspiration from next. Anil Ambani’s Reliance Big Entertainment and Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment have joined forces with gaming leader Capcom to develop a feature film based on the game Dark Void. It follows a trend. Tomb Raider was a game adapted into a feature with Angelina Jolie and Resident Evil first became popular as a game before it was made into a film.
Pitt’s production company, under its creative partnership with Ambani’s entertainment wing, and Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, have come to terms on the film rights relating to Dark Void. The theatrical version of Dark Void is being developed as a sci-fi action franchise and may potentially star Pitt himself, though there is no confirmation on who the leading man ultimately will be.
Capcom will release Dark Void in Xbox 360 video game format and entertainment system from Microsoft PLAYSTATION-3 computer entertainment system and PC in North America on January 2010. Read more…
