Paramount Is Making A Live-Action Cyberpunk 2077 Movie With The Producer Of Transformers One

According to a recent report by Deadline, Paramount Pictures is officially developing a live-action feature film set within the expansive universe of Cyberpunk 2077. Originally sparked by CD Projekt Red’s acclaimed sci-fi role-playing game, this gritty universe has steadily branched out into graphic novels, literature, and the phenomenal animated series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners—which is notably gear up for a highly anticipated sequel release this month.

At the helm of the production is seasoned producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, whose impressive portfolio includes Transformers One, several installments in the live-action Transformers franchise, Snake Eyes, and Madame Web. Aside from this core creative announcement, specific plot details and casting choices remain heavily under wraps.

Given the sheer depth of Night City’s lore—ranging from the high-stakes rebellion of V and Johnny Silverhand against the tyrannical Arasaka Corporation to the espionage-heavy thrills of the Phantom Liberty expansion and countless atmospheric side stories—Paramount has an incredible wealth of narrative material to draw from. Given that the project appears to be in its infancy, likely preceding formal pre-production, fans should expect a substantial wait before further details emerge.

This endeavor highlights Paramount’s growing footprint in the realm of video game adaptations. The studio is currently co-producing the upcoming Street Fighter motion picture, slated for theatrical release next week, alongside a feature-length adaptation of Activision’s iconic Call of Duty franchise, which has tapped Deepwater Horizon director Peter Berg to direct.
