A Deadline report indicates that Paramount Pictures is collaborating with CD Projekt Red to produce a live-action film set within the Cyberpunk 2077 universe. Lorenzo di Bonaventura, known for his work on the Transformers and GI Joe franchises, is attached to produce the project.
CD Projekt Red co-CEO Michał Nowakowski officially confirmed the development of this project via a post on X. Currently, there are no further details regarding the production timeline or specific narrative focus of the upcoming adaptation.

Starring Keanu Reeves, the film depicts a courier transporting data in a future setting. Despite mixed critical reception upon its release, the author highlights the film's unique cast and memorable elements, such as a dolphin character, as reasons for its enduring appeal.
While no release date has been announced for the Cyberpunk 2077 project, Johnny Mnemonic remains widely available for viewing across various digital platforms including Netflix, Prime, Apple, and Tubi. Physical copies may also be found at thrift retailers.
