Cyberpunk 2077 Movie Officially Happening, And There's One Thing It Absolutely Has to Get Right

The world used to shudder at the idea of a video game becoming a feature film, especially after the threat of Super Mario Bros. and Mortal Kombat: Annihilation made it clear that it was a Herculean task. In the years since, though, filmmakers who actually played the games became attached to bring them to life, which has given us hits like the recent Resident Evil and a full Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. Gamers should expect even more of them in the future, especially as Microsoft itself is gearing up to make sure its biggest franchises can leap another medium in an impactful way.

Today brings news of yet another video game adaptation that is bound for the big screen, with Deadline reporting that a Cyberpunk 2077 feature film is happening at Paramount. Original developer CD Projekt Red is set to produce the movie alongside Lorenzo di Bonaventura. Further details about the adaptation remain unclear, with no screenwriter or director attached at this point, but there’s already one key piece of the hit video game that the movie should aim for, and it’s making sure that Keanu Reeves has a role when it finally arrives.

This is a developing story.
