CD Projekt Red A movie based on “Cyberpunk 2077,” the popular sci-fi, open-world RPG from CD Projekt Red, is in the works at Paramount, Variety has confirmed.
“Transformers” producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura is attached to the project. CD Projekt Red, video game developer and the franchise rights holder, also serves as producer on the project.
“Cyberpunk 2077,” which launched in December 2020 after several delays, is set in the seedy, neon metropolis of Night City. As the player, you assume the role of V, a gun for hire who becomes imbued with a “biochip” that harbors the digital likeness of rock star and notorious criminal Johnny Silverhand, played by Keanu Reeves. V must then work with Johnny to separate their consciousness, all while taking on the evil megacorporation Arasaka, which rules over the dystopian cityscape.
