According to Deadline, Universal is developing a biopic about BON JOVI, with the participation of frontman Jon Bon Jovi and access to the band's music catalog.
Cody Brotter, whose previous work includes the Black List script "Drudge", is writing the screenplay. A director has not been set, nor has casting for the group's key members. The movie will be produced by Kevin J. Walsh and Gotham Chopra, whose company Religion Of Sports produced the 2024 Hulu documentary series "Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story". Universal's director of production development Jacqueline Garell will oversee the project for the studio.
Released in 2024, "Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story" celebrated the band's 40th anniversary of its self-titled debut album which was released on January 21, 1984 via Polygram/Mercury Records, less than a year after forming in their home state of New Jersey.
The four-part "Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story" series was directed and executive produced by Chopra. Jon Bon Jovi is not credited as a producer on the project.
