Plan B Entertainment, Reliance BIG Entertainment and Capcom have come to terms on film rights relating to “Dark Void”, a new property from Capcom. The theatrical version of Dark Void is being developed as a sci-fi action franchise with a potential starring role for Brad Pitt.

Capcom will release Dark Void on the Xbox 360,  PS3, and PC in January. Capcom describes the new game as, “an adrenaline-fueled 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,” Capcom says of the game’s setting.

Plan B Entertainment is actor/producer Brad Pitt’s production company. It has produced films such as the The Departed, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, A Mighty Heart, and this summer’s The Time Traveler’s Wife.
