Cyberpunk 2077 movie "won't be a one-to-one translation of the game's story", CD Projekt Red boss confirms, and boy do I think that's the right move
Since the existence of plans for a Cyberpunk 2077 live-action adaptation from devs CD Projekt Red and Paramount Pictures was revealed last week, I've been hoping it won't take the form of porting V's tale from the game to the big screen. Such a thing wouldn't necessarily be terrible, but I like my game adaptations a bit more on the original story side of things, as Cyberpunk tie-in anime series…
CD Projekt Red has confirmed that its upcoming live-action Cyberpunk 2077 movie will not be a one-to-one translation of the game's story. According to IGN, co-CEO Michał Nowakowski told Polish outlet PAP Biznes that the company intends to tell a new story within the Cyberpunk universe rather than a beat-for-beat retelling.
The film is being developed in partnership with Paramount, which is now under the Skydance banner following a recent merger. Lorenzo di Bonaventura is set to produce the project. Rock Paper Shotgun noted that the move follows a similar approach to the Cyberpunk tie-in anime series, Edgerunners.
