  "summary": "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.\n\nThe 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.",
