Overview
- A partnership announced Thursday, October 8, 2026, has Paramount Pictures and CD Projekt Red developing a live-action film set in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe.
- Veteran producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura is attached to produce while CD Projekt Red will serve as a producing partner, but no director, writer, cast, story details, or release date have been named.
- CD Projekt told reporters the franchise has sold more than 40 million copies and the Phantom Liberty expansion sold 15 million copies, figures that studios see as commercial justification for a film.
- It is unclear whether the movie will adapt the game’s main plot or tell a new Night City story, and no reports confirm if game actors such as Keanu Reeves or Idris Elba will appear.
- The announcement joins Paramount’s broader push into big-screen game adaptations and follows Cyberpunk’s recovery from a troubled 2020 launch through major updates and transmedia work like the Netflix Edgerunners anime.
