Hollywood studio Paramount Pictures is developing a live-action film set in the world of Cyberpunk 2077, a narrative-driven role-playing video game, according to a report from Deadline. The game's developer, CD Projekt Red, is attached as a producer. The project adds to the growing list of video game adaptations heading to screens.
What is known about the project
Lorenzo di Bonaventura will produce alongside the game studio. His earlier producing credits include action films such as Red, Shooter and The Meg, as well as several Transformers movies directed by Michael Bay.
The report is very preliminary and does not mention a plot or cast. It is also unclear whether this film is separate from the early-stage production deal with Anonymous Content that was announced in 2023.
