Bruce Springsteen Movie, With Jeremy Allen White in Talks to Star, Lands at 20th Century Studios
variety.comKatcy Stephan “Deliver Me From Nowhere,” the upcoming film about the making of Bruce Springsteen‘s landmark 1982 “Nebraska” album, has landed at 20th Century Studios. “The Bear” star Jeremy Allen White is in talks to star as the legendary rocker.
Scott Cooper (“Crazy Heart,” “Hostiles”) will write and direct the film, which is based on Warren Zane’s 2023 book “Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska.” “Nebraska,” the follow-up to Springsteen’s hugely successful album “The River,” was widely expected to be a rock album with the E Street Band.
Instead, it was a stark solo album made on a 4-track recorder. The book and the film tell the story of Springsteen’s artistic journey in the creation of the record, which is regarded as a watershed in his musical odyssey.
The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein (“The Maze Runner” trilogy) and Eric Robinson, Cooper, Zanes and Scott Stuber are producers.
