The rock & roll origin story of Bon Jovi is coming to a screen near you, and founder and frontman Jon Bon Jovi is on board.
Rolling Stone has confirmed the film is in the works with the singer and songwriter’s involvement.
Universal Pictures is producing the musical biopic, the latest in a string of music-focused films that includes the Eminem story 8 Mile and 2015’s Straight Outta Compton, which traced the formation of gangsta rappers N.W.A. According to a report, the Bon Jovi production will have access to the music library of the New Jersey group.
That means jukebox staples like “Livin’ on a Prayer,” “Wanted Dead or Alive,” “You Give Love a Bad Name,” and “Bad Medicine” will likely be heard in the film, which is produced by Kevin J. Walsh and Gotham Chopra. The latter’s involvement is notable: Chopra produced the four-part Hulu documentary about Bon Jovi, 2024’s Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story. The docuseries also involved Jon Bon Jovi, who sat for interviews and shared personal details about voice issues and the surgery he underwent to resolve them. “I don’t have a messiah complex,” he said in one interview, choking back tears. “Anyway, that’s why the legacy matters.”
Bon Jovi released the album Forever in 2024, the band’s 40th anniversary. Late last year, the group announced its return to the concert stage. Bon Jovi will play their first gigs in four years this July with a string of shows at Madison Square Garden in New York, and a handful of dates in the U.K.
