ユニバーサル・ピクチャーズは、ロックバンド・ボン・ジョヴィを題材としたミュージカル伝記映画の開発権をめぐる入札戦に勝利した。フロントマンのジョン・ボン・ジョヴィが参加し、本プロジェクトはバンドのヒット曲を活用する。脚本家のコーディ・ブロッターが参加、ケビン・J・ウォルシュとゴッサム・チョープラがプロデュースを務め、2024年のHuluドキュメンタリー作品に続く。
ユニバーサル・ピクチャーズは、ボン・ジョヴィの起源物語を描く伝記映画の製作をめぐる入札戦で勝利したと、Varietyが報じ、Rolling Stoneが2026年3月10日に確認した。このミュージカル映画はバンドのカタログから「Livin’ on a Prayer」「Wanted Dead or Alive」「You Give Love a Bad Name」「Bad Medicine」「It’s My Life」などをフィーチャーする。監督やキャストはまだ発表されていない。
X上でのユニバーサル・ピクチャーズのボン・ジョヴィ伝記映画発表に対する反応は、ファンからバンドの起源物語を熱望しキャスティングを予想する肯定的なものが主流。メディアは高いエンゲージメントで中立的に報道。孤立した懐疑論が新たな音楽伝記映画の必要性を疑問視している。
