Paramount Pictures is developing a live-action movie adaptation of Cyberpunk 2077, the dystopian sci-fi video game starring Keanu Reeves, Deadline reports. Lorenzo di Bonaventura (Transformers, G.I. Joe) is attached to produce alongside developer CD Projekt Red. No further details are known.
Set in the fictional Night City, Cyberpunk 2077 centers on V, a dying mercenary who is implanted with the digital imprint of the late rock star and terrorist Johnny Silverhand (played by Keanu Reeves). Idris Elba appears in the Phantom Liberty expansion. Considered a modern masterpiece, the game has sold more than 40 million copies to date after overcoming a bug-filled launch in 2020.
Adaptations and Sequels
Cyberpunk 2077 has also been adapted into the hit Netflix anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, with Season 2 debuting later this month. A sequel to the game is also in development under the working title Cyberpunk 2.
Paramount is set to release Street Fighter on October 16th and has a Call of Duty movie in the works from director Peter Berg, who co-wrote the script with Taylor Sheridan.
In conclusion, the development of a live-action Cyberpunk 2077 movie marks an exciting new chapter for the franchise, which has already seen significant success with its video game and anime adaptations. With Lorenzo di Bonaventura and CD Projekt Red on board, fans can expect a high-quality production that stays true to the spirit of the original game.
