CD Projekt Red Co-CEO Says Cyberpunk 2077 Film Will Not Adapt The Game As-Is
CDPR is signaling the film will be its own story rather than a direct retelling, the same approach the franchise used with the Edgerunners anime, so the movie's cast and plot remain undecided.

CD PROJEKT RED co-CEO Michal Nowakowski told the outlet Biznes PAP that the live-action Cyberpunk 2077 film will not be a one-to-one adaptation of the game. He said the studio wants to tell a story set in the Cyberpunk world instead. Paramount Pictures is producing the film, with CD PROJEKT RED also involved. No release timing has been announced.
Nowakowski addressed the project in an interview with Biznes PAP, after Paramount Pictures was reported to be moving forward with a live-action Cyberpunk 2077 film. He also acknowledged that report on his own X account. His comments leave the film's shape open: it could follow V and Johnny Silverhand with major changes for the screen, or it could build around different characters, as the anime series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners did. Paramount produces, and CD PROJEKT RED is involved in production. Release timing is not known.
