Combine a upcoming game about a jetpack-flying hero with arguably the most well-known movie star on the planet and you might have yourself a good movie. Capcom certainly hopes so as it announces today that Brad Pitt's production company Plan B Entertainment has bought the movie rights to Dark Void, the upcoming third person action game from developer Airtight Games.

The press announcement states that the movie is being prepped for a "potential starring vehicle for Pitt". He's been known to delve into the sci-fi and fantasy genre before in movies like 12 Monkeys, Interview with the Vampire and (ugh) Meet Joe Black. No studio, writer or director have been announced yet for the Dark Void movie. In the meantime the game is due for release for the PC and other platforms on January 19, a few days later than the previously announced January 15 release date.
