A Dark Void movie deal has been made between Capcom, Brad Pitt’s company Plan B Entertainment, and Reliance Big Entertainment.

What’s more, Pitt may actually STAR in the movie as well being on the production side. Films that Plan B has created include The Departed, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. They are also producing Kick-Ass, a movie scheduled for next-year from Wanted author Mark Miller.

Here is the synopsis for Dark Void:

Dark Void delivers a ground breaking combination of fast paced vertical combat mixed with mid-air and on-foot action.

“Something is consuming our universe, a vast and ancient force almost beyond our comprehension. Millions of years ago, the minions of that power found their way to the 3rd planet of an unremarkable yellow star. Ours. The race they created came to call their masters “The Watchers.” For millennia we knew them as gods and served their dark purposes, but a few humans developed extraordinary powers. They were known as the Adepts and they rose up, banishing The Watchers into a parallel universe, where they’ve manipulated and schemed from afar. Until now.”

In addition to the upcoming film announcement, Capcom also pushed the game release back a week to January 19th, 2010 in North America and January 22, 2010 in Europe. It will be released on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. — Via Variety
