Paramount Pictures is collaborating with CD Projekt Red to create a live-action movie based on the Cyberpunk 2077 universe, according to Deadline. Lorenzo di Bonaventura, known for producing various action-packed films, is among the producers. CD Projekt Red co-CEO Michał Nowakowski confirmed the news on Twitter. However, the perfect cyberpunk movie is already available—the 1995 film Johnny Mnemonic, starring Keanu Reeves.
The movie, based on a William Gibson short story, follows a mnemonic courier who transports sensitive data in his head. Reeves plays the role of Johnny Mnemonic, who faces numerous challenges in the cyber-future, including battles with the yakuza and betrayal by his handler. Despite mixed reviews, the film features a star-studded cast, including Dolph Lundgren, Ice-T, and Dina Meyer.
The film's unconventional plot and memorable performances make it a cult classic, and it is currently available to stream on various platforms such as Netflix, Prime, and Apple.
