Casting Call: Brad Pitt lights up 'Dark Void,' Brittany Murphy rings 'Caller'

Brad Pitt has fallen for a video game.

The "Inglourious Basterds" star will produce (via his Plan B company) and possibly star in an adaptation of video game "Dark Void," according to Variety. The game, due out in January 2010, follows a pilot lost in the Bermuda Triangle who must prevent evil aliens from killing off a Stone Age human race.

So yeah, those of you who had Pitt riding a saber-toothed tiger in your "up next" pool can collect a few dollars.

-- Brittany Murphy has dialed in on "The Caller." She'll play the lead in a thriller about a divorcee who begins receiving mysterious phone calls, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Other details are scarce, though we know the movie co-stars Luis Guzman and "True Blood" vampire Stephen Moyer.

"The Caller" begins filming Nov. 20.
