All hail brand synergy, Cyberpunk 2077 is getting a live action adaptation from Paramount and the producer behind the horrendous Doom movie
To his credit he also produced the Transformers films. Against his credit, he did also produce Madam Web. Hmm.

I mean Skydance also produced Altered Carbon. The tech bro billionaires love cyberpunk, probably for the wrong reasons, but there's a chance they'll make a good adaptation.
Paramount is probably the most consistent studio to take a lazy, bleed-it-dry approach to any IP. Even if CDPR is involved, I assumed this will be trash even before reading the creative team.
Instead just rewatch Edgerunners.
Season 2 is going to drop soon, i can't wait! Can't imagine Studio Trigger to create corpotrash.
Apple's Neuromancer is about to be out soon. Trailers didn't have much to go on, but it looked good from a set point.
I'll not watch either and just be fine win the game(s, in the future). Can't stand anime.
"the horrendous DOOM movie"
The one with Karl Urban?
I liked it, it's not good but it's fun :<
I also thought it was fun enough, especially if you approach it with a b-movie mindset (and you played Doom as a kid).
The last 10 minutes is the best part
Paramount has said they are "proud" (jerk off motion) of Kurtzmen Trek, so I have absolutely no faith in that shit storm of a production company, or any of the AI slop (allegedly) shows it produces.
I thought Uwe Boll was going to be involved when a Doom movie was mentioned and was cringing hard at that moment. Don't misunderstand me, Uwe Boll movies are something to laugh your ass off to while stoned and therefor are not a complete waste, but still...
Postal was amazing.
Uwe Boll Movies in general are a fun time, i agree. Don't try to analyze them or use more intellect onto them than you need to understand what is happening on screen, and it's really a good time.
This will be a good movie too 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
wait. transformers films is considered a plus???
Bumblebee was the best Transformers movie. IMO.
And I was surprised when I looked up and found that it had the same producers as the others. So they can do different styles of movies.
Maybe it's the writers?
Producers just write the checks. It could be fine.
Capitalism integrates another criticism, to be fair it did so over 2 decades ago.
