Paramount Developing Live-Action Cyberpunk 2077 Movie With Lorenzo di Bonaventura

Paramount Pictures is developing a live-action film set in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe, Deadline Hollywood reported on October 8, 2026. The project draws on CD Projekt Red's action-adventure role-playing game.

The reporting describes the setting for the film, but does not identify a plot or say which game characters might appear. The Hollywood Reporter also described the project as a film set within the gaming franchise's universe.

The October 8 report from Deadline Hollywood named Lorenzo di Bonaventura as an attached producer. Variety Movies confirmed the same day that the movie was in development at Paramount and that di Bonaventura was attached.

IGN identified di Bonaventura as best known for producing the Transformers and GI Joe films. His involvement gives the project an established franchise producer, though the coverage did not name a director.

Engadget reported that Paramount Pictures would develop the film and CD Projekt Red would produce. The reports establish the studio and producer involvement, rather than a production timetable.

The film is in development, not a dated release announcement. The Verge reported that timing details were not yet available, and the supplied coverage does not disclose a cast or director.

There is also no disclosed story outline. The description of a film set in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe leaves open whether it will follow the game's narrative or tell another story within that setting.

The next concrete details to watch for are a director, casting announcements and a production or release timetable. A story synopsis would also clarify what Paramount plans to bring from the game to the screen. None of those details appears in the supplied coverage.
