Cyberpunk 2077 film at Paramount: Lorenzo di Bonaventura and CD Projekt Red involved
Paramount is reportedly working on a live-action Cyberpunk 2077 film, with Lorenzo di Bonaventura producing and CD Projekt Red involved.
- Lorenzo di Bonaventura is attached as producer, and CD Projekt Red is also involved.
- No director, writer, cast, or release date has been announced yet, and the exact approach to the adaptation is still unclear.
What happened
According to the reporting provided, Paramount is working on a live-action film adaptation of Cyberpunk 2077. The news comes from coverage by Deadline, and is also being picked up by outlets such as IGN and GameSpot. That means the project itself is being reported as real, but there are still no concrete production details.
Lorenzo di Bonaventura is attached to the film as a producer. The sources do not specify exactly what his role will be within the production, but his name is the first concrete creative attachment to the project. CD Projekt Red is also mentioned as being involved, although the reporting does not explain the extent of that involvement.
The reports also note that there are still no actors, writer, or director announced. It is likewise unclear whether the film will directly adapt the 2020 Cyberpunk 2077 game or tell a new story set in the same universe. For now, the available information is limited to the first confirmed names and the fact that the project is in development.
In the same reporting, Paramount is also linked to a Call of Duty film that is said to be planned for 2028. That is separate from Cyberpunk 2077, but it does show the studio has multiple game adaptations in the works.

Background
Cyberpunk 2077 is the open-world RPG from CD Projekt Red that released in 2020. The game is set in Night City and forms the basis for the newly reported film adaptation. The sources do not mention any specific characters, storylines, or scenes that would carry over into the movie.
The report fits into a broader trend of major game franchises being adapted for film or television. In this case, it is a title with an established brand and a recognizable setting, but the reporting gives no details on the creative direction. It is therefore still unclear whether the film will stay close to the game or tell its own story.
CD Projekt Red’s involvement is notable because the studio created the game, but the sources do not specify whether it is helping write the screenplay, overseeing the adaptation, or mainly serving as the rights holder. There are also no confirmed details yet on production timing, filming, or distribution.
