All hail brand synergy, Cyberpunk 2077 is getting a live action adaptation from Paramount and the producer behind the horrendous Doom movie

Paramount, now operating under the Skydance merger, will produce a live-action adaptation of *Cyberpunk 2077*, marking another entry in the growing trend of video game film adaptations. The project is being developed in collaboration with developer CD Projekt Red, which will also serve as a producer. Lorenzo di Bonaventura, known for his work on the *Transformers* films and *Madame Web*, has been attached to the production, bringing a track record of high-profile adaptations.

CD Projekt Red co-CEO Michał Nowakowski expressed enthusiasm for the partnership with Paramount, stating in a statement that the studio shares creative ambitions for the *Cyberpunk* franchise. While specific details about the film remain scarce, speculation about casting is expected to arise, particularly given the game’s prominent voice actors, Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba.

Elba has previously expressed interest in a live-action *Cyberpunk* adaptation alongside Reeves, who plays alongside him in *Sonic the Hedgehog 3*, another Paramount project. The potential involvement of these actors could elevate the film’s profile, though no official casting announcements have been made. The adaptation’s direction and tone remain uncertain as development progresses.

The announcement follows Paramount’s merger with Warner Bros., which has consolidated multiple game adaptations under a single division. Reports indicate that the merged division will oversee projects based on franchises such as *Star Trek*, *SpongeBob SquarePants*, *Avatar: The Last Airbender*, and *Mortal Kombat*, signaling a strategic shift toward leveraging existing IPs for streaming platforms.
