Dark Void film rights bought, game delayed a week

@oista That's pretty much the only reason anyone's visited this page ever since the game bombed, or so it seems.

@ oista I did

Out of curiosity, who wound up here as a result of the Red Dead Redemption article? When I saw the link i was like wtf..?

I lol'd.

I would like a Dark Void movie; I thought it has a very original story, it's a very good game, and imo some people are complaining about all of this just because they are comparing it to Mass Effect, even though they are two very differents games, beyond any comparisson. At a first point they seems to has something in common indeed, but when you play them, you change your mind.

why would a mediocre game get a movie deal?

Dark Void movie?!?! HELL NO! The story was as bland as a...a, hot towel! And a movie would be a very bad idea! :x

Game movies never work out. I just hope that the game will be better then the movie. I already reserved this game, but they're delaying it constantly is making me lose interest.

Cool, I hope they make the movie and I hope Brad Pitt stars in it. I hope most of all that the game rocks!

Maybe I have the wrong attitude here, but I don't mind them buyin rights before they see if the game is any good. I mean heck, if the game is good it doesn't mean the movie will be, and if the game is bad it doesn't mean the movie will be. Heh, though it'll certainly put off a few people if the game bombs w/o the excuse of having to hit some movie release deadline.

IMHO the concept is really cool even if the game turns out not to be very good, the concept for the story is actually quite interesting and could be really good as a movie, if done by top talent.

ROFL Kick-ass? never heard of it before looks funny as hell though! oh and shouldnt we have a look at the completed GAME before we auction off the rights to make a movie?

could turn out great but shouldn't they wait and see if the game's any good before they make a movie out of it?

I have an open mind about them making this game into a movie. I still live in hope that one day someone write a decent script and get some decent actors on screen, and turn out something good. Anyway, I'm still looking forward to the game. The setting and action looks good to me.

I still don't care about this game.

movies need games because they have the best storys.i just wish the movie was as good as the games

this type pick someone that can actually make a good movie... no wait a freaken amazing movie.

meh if its anything like the resident evil movies it will just be a block for a director to make his own characters and story under a banner name that helps him sell it.

Looks boring.

The only good news in the article was finding out Capcom is making this game I was hyped for, saving me 80$ and disappointment.

Capcom is a good company. They create new IPs as well as make good sequels. not like some other (i'm looking at you Activision. stop making ... Hero games and stop milking CoD franchise)

STOP FREAKING DELAYING THE GAME!

Wow, the game is not even out yet, and already movie rights have been bought. How pathetic. No doubt it'll fail like EVERY. SINGLE. OTHER videogame movie ever made.

Failsauce. VG movies just don't work. Accept it, Hollywood.

A movie? Is this already a proven license? I'm afraid not.

a movie? sounds like fun, but to me it sounds like a low budget movie... and if the movie is supposed to come out in January, the movie wont be worked on that long.. so i wonder if it will be worth watching.

failsplosion.

Who else thinks this is a bad idea? Judging by the comments section, everybody.

pfft, its all about the rocketeer! Not this chump of a character.

This game looks very good, lets see how it's go in the game bussines and later we go to hollywood -o-

Christ the game hasn't even come out yet and they are already thinking of ruining it with a movie!! Not only that but of all the production companies why Brad Pitts? I mean it's as if they are trying to make the worst movie possible

I've got a game I'm thinking about making. I don't know if it will be good or not because I haven't made it yet. I hope Hollywood will come buy the movie rights

No thanks, I saw the Rocketeer 20 years ago, and haven't needed to see a jet pack centered movie since. I feel like this whole movie announcement is just a ploy to build PR for a bland B title game.

LMFAO their making a movie based on a game that hasn't even been released yet, so no one knows if its even good. How is this a good idea? and what was the point of pushing back the release date on the game a week, whats that going to do?

Brad Pitt = Worst movie EVER!!!!!!!!!!

@FarmFreshDX I'm thinking maybe the two (game release pushed back and movie rights) are unrelated. At best this movie is in pre-pre-production. I can't imagine any scenario that would mean pushing the game back, especially considering this is going the opposite direction of usual movie-game tie-ins.

Some idiot must've gone down the list and thumbs-downed everyone once, because if you notice every single comment has at least -1 as of writing this. Second, anybody who thinks this isn't a horrible idea and a laughable attempt at a movie has never seen a video game movie. Especially not the ones lately. This is the dumbest news I've ever heard. Buying the rights to make a movie on something that hasn't been released and pushing the game back a week for it? Ludicrous.

@ oneligas They did..Asteroids!! Don't believe me? Look it up. Still, Dark Void has an interesting premise and COULD be a good movie..doubt it though!

Are you kidding me? Is Hollywood so lazy and drained of creativity that they are resorting to buying the rights to make films based on games that aren't even out yet?! Dark Void looks fun, but for all we know it might totally suck. Shouldn't they wait until the game has an actual fanbase playing it before yelling "OMFG MOVIE RIGHTS!!" Better yet, don't wait. Lets just not make a movie based on it in the first place. I have long since given up on the idea of a game movie that is worth the $7 + snacks admission price.

Brad Pitt?! You have GOT to be kidding me!

Why Dark Void? Capcom has had better franchises fail on the big screen. If they can't get a live action Street Fighter or Resident Evil to work, why would they bother trying with this random new I.P.?

I just want the fricking game not a lame attempt at turning it into a movie.

When the games themselves look like movies, why even bother watching the movie?

next story Hollywood buys rights to IP that isn't even in development like Pac-Man or Pong 3000
