Jeremy Allen White Is the Boss in First Look at Bruce Springsteen Biopic ‘Deliver Me From Nowhere’
variety.comEllise Shafer The first look at “The Bear” star Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen in biopic “Deliver Me From Nowhere” has been revealed as production gets underway.
Directed and written by Scott Cooper (“Crazy Heart,” “Hostiles”), “Deliver Me From Nowhere” adapts Warren Zanes’ book of the same name about the making of Springsteen’s 1982 album “Nebraska.” Filming is taking place primarily in Springsteen’s native New Jersey and New York, with additional production in Los Angeles, and the movie is set to hit theaters next year.
According to a press release, Springsteen’s recording of “Nebraska” “marked a pivotal time in his life, one that he would only openly talk about decades after its release.
It’s regarded as a landmark in his musical odyssey and a source of inspiration for a generation of artists and musicians. Recorded on a 4-track recorder in Springsteen’s New Jersey bedroom and without The E Street Band, ‘Nebraska’ is considered one of Springsteen’s most enduring works — a raw, haunted acoustic record populated by lost souls searching for a reason to believe.” Beyond Allen White, the cast includes Stephen Graham as Springsteen’s dad, Paul Walter Hauser as guitar tech Mike Batlan and Odessa Young, who is rumored to play a love interest.
