"The film's focus will be the formative years and the stepping stones to get to where the band's rock anthems filled stadiums all over the world."
"The package includes the participation of Jon Bon Jovi and the band's music library, meaning the film will be able to use iconic hits like "Livin' on a Prayer," "Wanted Dead or Alive," and "Runaway" while telling the story of the band's rise to fame."
Universal Pictures has secured the rights to produce a definitive biopic of Bon Jovi, with Jon Bon Jovi's direct involvement and access to the band's complete music library. The film will feature iconic songs including "Livin' on a Prayer," "Wanted Dead or Alive," and "Runaway." Multiple studios competed for the project, but Universal was selected due to its successful track record with music-themed films like 8 Mile and Straight Outta Compton. Cody Brotter will write the script, while producer Gotham Chopra, who directed the recent Hulu documentary Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story, will oversee production. The biopic will concentrate on the band's formative years and the pivotal moments that led to their global stadium success.
