CD Projekt Red Announces Live-Action Project Set in the World of Cyberpunk 2077
CD Projekt Red, the developer behind Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher, has revealed that it is working on a new live-action project set within the game’s universe. The project is still in its early stages of development.
CD Projekt Red has partnered with Anonymous Content, a renowned film and TV production company responsible for bringing popular series like True Detective and Mr. Robot to life, as well as films such as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Revenant, and Spotlight.
Following the success of Studio Trigger’s Cyberpunk anime series, Edgerunners, and Netflix’s adaptation of The Witcher, it is clear that there is a demand for more Cyberpunk stories. CD Projekt Red is smart to pursue this avenue.
The project is currently searching for a screenwriter to craft an entirely new story set in the world of Cyberpunk 2077. Unlike Edgerunners, this project will be a live-action production.
The specific details of the story remain unknown. However, Edgerunners successfully introduced new and compelling characters, receiving positive reception from fans and critics. This new project carries high expectations.
CD Projekt Red has chosen a reputable studio to collaborate with. Anonymous Content has worked on noteworthy productions like Maniac, Dickinson, and Schitt’s Creek. They are also involved in the upcoming Life is Strange series, showcasing their expertise in adapting video game properties.
For the writer of this project, my top choice would be Alex Garland. Garland is known for directing acclaimed sci-fi films like Ex Machina and Annihilation as well as his work on scripts for 28 Days Later and the underrated video game Enslaved: Odyssey to the West.
