Paramount Pictures is developing a feature-length live-action film set in the world of Cyberpunk 2077, the open-world RPG from Polish studio CD Projekt Red. The report originated as a Deadline exclusive. Lorenzo di Bonaventura, whose producing credits include the Transformers film series and The Matrix during his time at Warner Bros. Pictures, will produce alongside CD Projekt Red, the game's developer. CD Projekt Red co-CEO Michal Nowakowski responded to the report on his X account, saying the company has great expectations for Paramount as a future partner that shares its creative ambitions, and that details will be shared at the appropriate time. No director, screenwriter, cast, or release timing has been announced. Cyberpunk 2077 released in 2020 and has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide, while the 2023 expansion Phantom Liberty has sold 15 million.
The game is set in Night City, where a mercenary named V is implanted with a biochip carrying the personality of legendary rockerboy Johnny Silverhand and is pulled into a life-or-death struggle. Di Bonaventura's other producer credits include Paramount's Transformers series and the G.I. Joe series. CD Projekt Red's October 2023 live-action project with Anonymous Content, the company behind Mr. Robot and The Revenant, was described as still in its early stages as of August 2025. The Paramount film and that project have not been linked in the reporting. Separately, the anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 is set to stream on Netflix starting October 20, 2026, with a new cast of characters; a second main footage clip released in early October depicts a meeting between a movie-loving boy named Roman and a girl named Talia.
