Live-action Cyberpunk 2077 film reportedly in development, with CD Projekt Red collaborating with Paramount to make it

UPDATE 12PM BST: CD Projekt Red seems to have confirmed the partnership and film, with joint-CEO Michał Nowakowski commenting on X that: "We're excited about Paramount as a future partner who shares our creative ambitions for the Cyberpunk franchise. We look forward to sharing more details at the appropriate time."

ORIGINAL STORY 11:40AM BST: A live-action Cyberpunk 2077 film is reportedly in the works at Paramount Pictures. Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura - a former Warner Bros. exec influential in signing the The Matrix and Harry Potter films, and known for producing the Transformers films - is said to be attached to the project, with CD Projekt Red collaborating.

The report comes from Deadline, though the publication had no further information to share than what's above. CD Projekt Red told us it doens't have anything to share beyond what Nowakowski said on X.

Believing that CD Projekt Red would venture into live-action film territory doesn't take a stretch of the imagination. The company's Netflix anime partnership on Cyberpunk Edgerunners has been a success, with a second series due to air this month, on 20th October. The first season, released in 2022, was "fantastic", Wes wrote in his Cyberpunk Edgerunners impressions article, and amassed considerable Netflix viewing figures.

Live-action adaptations of video game-based series are also becoming increasingly popular, with The Last of Us and Fallout particularly finding wide success. CD Projekt Red being involved with the Cyberpunk 2077 adaptation would also somewhat heal a wound left by not being involved with The Witcher Netflix adaptation.
