Paramount Pictures is developing a live-action film set in the world of CD Projekt Red’s *Cyberpunk 2077*, according to reports from Deadline cited by The Verge and Engadget.

CD Projekt Red will produce the project alongside Lorenzo di Bonaventura, whose credits include several *Transformers* films as well as *The Meg*, *Red* and *Shooter*. No plot, cast or release date has been announced.

“We’re excited about Paramount as a future partner who shares our creative ambitions for the Cyberpunk franchise,” CD Projekt Red joint CEO Michał Nowakowski said. “We look forward to sharing more details at the appropriate time.”

Engadget reported that it is unclear whether the film is connected to an early-stage production agreement with Anonymous Content announced in 2023.

The project follows other adaptations and expansions of the franchise. Netflix’s anime series *Cyberpunk: Edgerunners* is about to return for a second season, while CD Projekt Red is developing a video game sequel currently called *Cyberpunk 2*. The company recently said *Cyberpunk 2077* has sold more than 40 million copies.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID

The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.

WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: One timing claim should be softened to match the sources’ wording. - "Netflix’s anime series *Cyberpunk: Edgerunners* is scheduled to return for a second season": The sources say the second season is about to return or debuting later this month, not that it is scheduled to return; the wording is acceptable, but 'scheduled' is more specific than the sources provided.
