Brad Pitt Headed Into Dark Void

You want proof that Brad Pitt is one of the few movie-stars around? He got audiences to see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in droves last Christmas. The great box-office and word-of-mouth on Inglorious Basterds this past summer further solidified that point. People just love the guy even after his notorious fucking around with Angelina Jolie behind his then-wife Jennifer’s Aniston’s back. Even that movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith turned out to be a big hit. Go figure.

Now the actor and his Plan B production company have bought up the film rights to Dark Void, a forthcoming video game hitting store-shelves this coming January. This is according to Variety. The story involves a pilot entering an alternate Earth after crash landing in the Bermuda Triangle. Only in this reality, humanity isn’t that advanced and an alien race is plotting to world domination.

Am I the only one getting a Sky Captain & the World of Tomorrow vibe from this? This could be fun and the designs (like the picture shown to your left) look cool. The only question I have is does Pitt even need a franchise in his juncture of his career?

I would personally say no.
