  "summary": "Paramount Pictures is adapting the popular sci-fi video game \"Cyberpunk 2077\" into a live-action film. According to The Verge, Lorenzo di Bonaventura, known for producing the Transformers films, will be a producer on the movie. CD Projekt Red, the game's developer and rights holder, will also produce the film.\n\nThe game, released in December 2020, has sold over 40 million copies internationally, with an additional 15 million copies sold of its Phantom Liberty expansion, Variety and TheWrap reported. The franchise has already been adapted into a hit Netflix anime series.\n\nNo details have been released on the film's premiere date, cast, writers, or directors. IGN noted that Keanu Reeves played a character in the game, and Idris Elba joined the cast in the Phantom Liberty expansion, but it's unclear if the film will adapt the game or be another story set in the Cyberpunk universe.",
