Music News: Bon Jovi Biopic Under Way
A feature film about the iconic rock band, Bon Jovi, is in development.
On Tuesday, editors at Deadline reported that executives at Universal Pictures had won a bidding war for the rights to make a biopic about the ’80s group.
Actor/writer Cody Brotter is set to pen the script. He will have access to Bon Jovi’s music catalogue, including hits like 1986’s You Give Love a Bad Name and Livin’ on a Prayer, as well as to the band’s frontman, Jon Bon Jovi.
A director and casting details have not been announced.
Representatives for the rockers have not yet commented on the project.
Original members included late bassist Alec John Such and guitarist-songwriter Richie Sambora.
The band found worldwide success with their third studio album, Slippery When Wet, which dropped in August 1986 and saw the musicians embark on a massive tour.
Bon Jovi was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018.
They unveiled their sixteenth studio album, Forever, in June 2024 â€" the first since Jon underwent vocal cord surgery in 2022.
Previously, producers at Universal Pictures have released musical biopics such as 2015’s Straight Outta Compton and 8 Mile.
They also have the rights to the upcoming biographical film about Michael Jackson, titled Michael, which is slated to hit theatres in April.
