Tesla Goes Back to Hollywood

Belgrade, Nov.27, 2009 (Serbia Today) - Hollywood is getting ready to create another character around the world renowned Serbian scientist, Nikola Tesla. According to an American magazine “Variety”, Brad Pitt’s production company has purchased copyright for shooting a film based on a video game “Darko Void” in which one of the main characters is Nikola Tesla, whose inventions help people to win a battle against aliens.
Although the video game 'Dark Void' will be presented on January 12, it has already attracted great media attention. Plan B production company, which is owned by Brad Pitt, hurried to buy copyright for a film adaptation of the game which is supposed to be one of the greatest hits in 2010. Other details related to the shooting are not known, but it is possible that Brad Pitt will have a role of the pilot William Augustus Grey, the main character in this action game.
The plot revolves around the pilot Grey who finds himself in the Bermuda Triangle and teleports into the parallel universe (Void) where he meets the Survivors, people who are trying to return to the Earth. William unites with the Survivors and fights against the Watchers, aliens who come from an unknown planet and defeat people. The Watchers are equipped with superior technology and weapons and their only goal is to conquer the Earth, while the Survivors are trying to defend themselves from much more powerful enemies and save the human race. Their greatest ally is the genius scientist Nikola Tesla who is trying to use the aliens’ technology and make a weapon and ships which will help the Survivors to beat the Watchers. At the same time the opposing sides are trying to find a way out of the parallel universe in which they are imprisoned.
It is interesting to point out that music for the game is composed by Bear McCreary, who is famous as a composer of music in the popular science-fiction series “Battlestar Galactica”. This is the first time that McCreary has composed music for a video game and music for the “Dark Void” video game is recorded with “Hollywood Studio Symphony”.
