All hail brand synergy, Cyberpunk 2077 is getting a live action adaptation from Paramount and the producer behind the horrendous Doom movie

Welp, Cyberpunk 2077 is getting a live-action adaptation! With the plethora of Hollywood adaptations of video games these days, this is one of those bits of news that has me thinking, "wait, that wasn't already a thing?" Apparently not!

In any case, this adaptation is coming from Paramount, or I guess Skydance as of this week, sort of, as reported by Deadline. Developer CD Projekt Red will be producing the film, of course, but it also has Lorenzo di Bonaventura attached to it as a producer; you'll know him best for doing the same on all of the live action Transformers films, as well as hits including Madame Web. Consider my confidence inspired! He even did the 2005 Dwayne "The Rock "Pees In Water Bottles On Set"" Johnson Doom film. Well, perhaps they'll get a good director attached to the Cyberpunk film at least.

In a statement on Dwitter , co-CEO Michał Nowakowski said, "We're excited about Paramount as a future partner who shares our creative ambitions for the Cyberpunk franchise. " That's pretty much your lot on details for the film. I'm sure plenty of people will be speculating about casting, given the big name talent the game already has in Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba. The latter did say he'd be interested in doing a live action adaptation with Reeves (who he plays alongside in Sonic the Hedgehog 3, another Paramount joint), so it's possible at least.
