Overview
- Major outlets reported Thursday that Paramount is developing a live-action film set in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe and CD Projekt Red’s co‑CEO publicly confirmed the studio partnership.
- Lorenzo di Bonaventura, known for producing the Transformers films, is attached as a producer and CD Projekt Red is listed as a producing partner on the project.
- The film is still in very early development with no director, writers, cast, release date, or specific story confirmed and it is unclear whether it will adapt the game’s main plot or tell a new tale set in Night City.
- CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 has sold more than 40 million copies and its Phantom Liberty expansion has sold about 15 million copies, and the franchise was recently boosted by the Netflix anime Edgerunners.
- Paramount’s move joins other studio game adaptations such as its Street Fighter and Call of Duty projects and could expand Night City across film and other media if the studio and developer align on tone and story.
