Darlings, Night City is finally getting the Hollywood treatment it deserves—Paramount Pictures is teaming up with CD Projekt Red for a live-action Cyberpunk 2077 film, and yes, that Transformers producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura is attached. CDPR’s joint-CEO Michał Nowakowski confirmed the partnership on X, teasing that they’re “excited about Paramount as a future partner who shares our creative ambitions” and promising more details “at the appropriate time.” The game’s already moved over 40 million copies with Phantom Liberty adding another 15 million, so the studio smells franchise potential after the Edgerunners anime success and that messy Witcher Netflix situation they openly called a missed opportunity.

The timing is chef’s kiss: CDPR is deep into Cyberpunk 2 pre-production with nearly 200 devs on the sequel that’s expanding beyond Night City, while Paramount just merged with Skydance and picked up a fresh IP slate. Di Bonaventura’s résumé screams big dumb spectacle—Transformers, The Meg, even past Keanu Reeves connections—so the question everyone’s whispering is whether Johnny Silverhand gets the Reeves reprise or if this goes full original story like Edgerunners did. No director, writer, cast, or release date yet, just the neon promise of another live-action game adaptation riding the Fallout and Last of Us wave.

Community chatter on X is the usual split: some chooms are already casting Keanu in their heads and hyping Blade Runner vibes, while others side-eye the producer choice and wonder if this becomes another Doom-movie-level disaster. Either way, CDPR’s hands-on involvement is the real flex here—finally learning from past adaptation regrets. This could be the crossover that makes the franchise inescapable, or just another corpo cash grab in chrome.
