CD Projekt shares rise on Cyberpunk film

Paramount Pictures is developing a live-action feature set in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe. Entertainment industry reports published on October 8–9, 2026 state that veteran producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura is attached to the project. CD Projekt RED, the game developer behind Cyberpunk 2077, is involved in the film as a producing partner.

The project is described as being at an early stage of development. No director or writer has been named, and there are no details on casting or a planned release date. Reports present the initiative as a new step in bringing the Cyberpunk brand into live-action film.

With the film still in early development, formal announcements on key creative positions remain outstanding. There is no publicly confirmed script, plot outline, or production schedule. The lack of detailed information underscores that the project is in its initial phases rather than approaching production.

Despite the limited specifics, the attachment of Lorenzo di Bonaventura and the involvement of CD Projekt RED signal that foundational producing partners are already in place. This structure positions the game studio to participate directly in shaping the adaptation of its Cyberpunk 2077 universe for film.

CD Projekt RED joint-CEO Michał Nowakowski commented on the partnership in a post on X. He stated that the company is “excited about Paramount as a future partner who shares our creative ambitions for the Cyberpunk franchise.”

Nowakowski also indicated that the studio looks forward to sharing more details at the appropriate time. His remarks highlight management’s public support for expanding the Cyberpunk franchise beyond games while noting that further information will depend on the project’s development progress.

News of the Paramount Cyberpunk 2077 film coincided with a positive move in CD Projekt RED’s share price. Several reports indicated that the stock traded about 3% higher in early Friday dealings after the development became public.

Other coverage cited intraday gains in the range of roughly 1.7% to around 3%, and some reports placed the share price near 259.7 zlotys during the session. The trading reaction reflects investor attention on the potential of the Cyberpunk intellectual property as it extends into live-action film, even as concrete production details remain limited.
